I disagree, the fighting genre is still huge. Why else does Smash Bros continue to grow?.

SSBB sold so well because of who is in it, the Wii got exactly one other worthwhile fighter, TvC.  Since TvC didn't sell much though despite being a great game is obvious SSBB mainly sells because it is a Nintendo game with Mario and Zelda etc characters.  The fact it is a fighter is irrelevant to its sales.

So why didn't a Sony game With Kratos and Nathan Drake etc characters sell anywhere nearly as well?

 

Also didn't TvC sell well considering we don't have the Tatsunoko brand in North America? Wait it did, Tvs.C was the 6th best selling Capcom vs. game ever made. It sold 65% as well as the best selling Capcom vs. game and was only beaten recently by Capcom vs. Marvel 3

I wouldn't call Tatsunoko vs. Capcom a flop since it did well compared to other games in the series and other crossovers.
