| the_dengle said: Well, it's not a typical multiplat. They are different games. They're just not separate iterations of the franchise... it's weird. Anyway, this is not limited simply to all-time global sales discussions, so whether or not they outsell Brawl doesn't really matter. For instance, suppose we isolate Japan. It looks very possible for Smash 4 to outsell Brawl there. The metric for success in Japan then should be the same as the metric for success in every other region, and globally. As for whether or not Smash 3DS and Wii U can combine to beat Brawl, I believe that is up to Nintendo. Both of these games will have great legs if Nintendo continues to support the platforms for another 2-3 years. |
Multi-plats that are also released on handhelds a lot of the time change their gameplay and obviously graphics due to the limitations of handheld HW. I would consider this game a First-party multi-plat as that's pretty much what Nintendo did with the 3DS version.
