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. |
Well we both agree both are huge franchises, but i dont think only sales should be put together to say something is bigger. Dont get me wrong, Sales is a huge factor in it, but its not everything.
Examples: Mario is bigger than Pokemon (excluding MK) despite pokemon outselling Mario in most of each generation.
Some franchises dont outsell another or close to it but still can be more popular/bigger overall. Also like i said before, SSB is a fighter and Halo is a shooter. SSB is by far the most popular and biggest Fighter while Halo isnt in its genre (But i think its #1 as a exclusive right?).
Btw i do get wat you meant with Halo multiple games vs SSB just one (per generation), but Nintendo games usually only have one entry per generation on HH/Console (with a few exceptions of Kirby+Pokemon). You can also argue Uncharted+Little Big Planet is bigger than SSB with that argument
