I mean people keep going on about Smash this, Smash that, but have you actually forgotten what MS has next holiday season? Halo, a franchise that quite simply is a lot bigger than Smash and is actually really exclusive. So what do you people, that say the X1 will end up third, actually think the X1 will do? 15-20 million? Cause the Wii U is sure as hell not on track to do more than 20-25, which might even be a pretty optimistic prediction.


Halo isnt alot bigger than SSB bro :)

First of all SSB is a fighter and for a fighter its by far and away the most popular up there with Tekken and Street Fighter (i say Mortal Kombat is a good 4th). Halo, a FPS that we all kno dominates every genre with EASE Is huge but saying Halo is bigger than SSB? C'mon now!

SSBB has the highest sales of Both franchises (though Halo 3 is a close 2nd with just a few Thousand behind it). Want to bet SSB 3DS will outsell Halo 5 WW Lifetime? 

Trust me both are very Huge in their own way but Saying Halo is alot bigger? Nahhhhh. Overall excluding Sales as well SSB is definitely more popular imo. 

 

Edit: OT Yes X1 has a good chance of outselling wiiu (US vs WW). So unfortunate for WiiU though :-/

You have to remember one thing here:

1 Smash game per Nintendo system vs 6 Halo games on the last Xbox

And the main Halos sold all over 9 million on the 360. I'm not trying to discredit Smash here I think it's a great franchise, but I highly doubt that Smash would sell nearly as much every iteration, if it had a release schedule like Halo. Still, yes you're right Smash is definitely a huge franchise as well.

Also I don't wanna bet on Smash 3DS outselling Halo 5, I would maybe bet on Smash 3DS outselling Smash Wii U, but I don't think many would take that bet.
