Smash Bros sales numbers are a really tough call, but heres what we do know.
1. Brawl is the best selling fighting game of all time.
2. The 6.5 year gap between Melee and Brawl made people extremely hungry for a new version and no doubt contributed to its success. Now we have another 6 year gap and the anticipation among fans and the gaming community IMO is even higher then when Brawl came out.
3. Nintendo is clearly pushing the Wii U version more then the 3DS version. They are doing a 3DS one to ensure big sales, but the Wii U version has been showcased the most (for good reason).
4. Sonic and Snake's additions were huge in terms of hyping the game. Mega Man is clearly a hit among fans, but I think Nintendo would be wise to add atleast one more big 3rd party character (Pac-Man, Ryu/Ken, Rayman, Sora idk something big enough to resonate with both the hardcore and casual fans).
My prediction is that combined between Wii U and 3DS, Super Smash Bros 4 will be the best selling fighting game of all time. I also am predicting that Nintendo will release a console bundle with Smash Bros included next Christmas. They have a chance to win 2014 with Kart/Smash alone but bundles at $250 could really launch the system into 3DS level sales.
