Could you tell me what sold better on the GC?
Also, the Wii was a different beast. Historically, there has not been many Smash games. |
Three smash games. Three mario kart games released around the same time.
Mario kart 64: 9.87 million
Super smash 64: 5.55 Million
Mario Kart GC: 6.95
Super Smash GC: 7.07
Mario Kart wii: 34.52 Milion
Super Smash Wii: 12.17 million
Yes I know the numbers. 2 out of 3 times, mario Kart has sold far better. Nearly doubling the first time, and nearly tripling the sales the third. Melee sold .12 more than mario kart double dash. Which is a difference of 120,000 copies. That's a difference of 1.7%, which most would consider a nearly negligible amount. Of the three games combined. Mario kart has sold 51.34 million, and Super smash bros has sold 24.78 Million. So yes, I'd say that Mario kart has a higher chanc of making a greater difference than Super smash bros. Numbers are on my side. I'm not saying that's it's impossible that SSB will do better, I'm just saying that I think Mario Kart has a far higher chance of making the bigger difference given both of their histories.
Edit. I also forgot to mention the fact the SSB4 is being released on the 3ds as well, which is bound to take away a ton of steam from the wiiU version. Why would you go out and buy a wiiU when you can play the same game in the palm of your hands?
