Halo will outsell either individual COD SKU, but COD will stay ahead. Sales will still fall below last gen numbers. Assasin's Creed will fall off quite a bit. Batman could take its place. I would be shocked to see SSB lose its place, but Mario Kart could possibly be taken over by Gran Turismo if the install base stays the way it is. Everything else is pretty safe.

Just cuz of user base SSB can lose if its combined sales to another huge fighter, but i think SSB for WiiU will do over 5mil. 3DS should do extremely well imo. Watch it break expectations


... what other huge fighter would that be?  Mortal Kombat sold a little bit over 4 million with SKUs combined.  Street Fighter was about 6.5 million or so if you include Super/Arcade.  I don't think any fighter this gen broke 3 million with one SKU.  So, even if SSBU falls to Melee levels it would outsell any other fighting franchise.  With the 3DS version, it's basically impossible.  

It would be cool if a company made an amazing fighting game that blew up and sold 10 million plus copies, but that's pretty unrealistic.  Beyond that miracle, I can't see SSB losing to another franchise.
