You can come up with reasons to not be impressed with Smash's sales, or you can recognize that Brawl is one of the top 50 best selling games of all time in Japan, and that as the first installment of the series on a handheld, we shouldn't take a similar success for granted. If install base was all that mattered, NSMB2 would be pushing 5 million sales in Japan.


I assume this is aimed at me. I'm in fact impressed by Smash's sales, I'm just not as impressed as some others here are. I'm just trying to explain that the huge userbase difference shouldn't be ignored, especially when comparing to other entries in a series, because it gives a really skewed view. It's doing great, but some seem to get carried away. Heck, one user said that SSB3DS could reach 20 million, which quite frankly, is ridiculous.
