Which will sell the most: Smash Bros U or Halo Master Chief Collection?

[Super_Boom]

This is an interesting thread...there's people who think it'll be close, and people who think either one will win by a huge margin. Not really a general consensus anywhere XD.

I don't really think either franchise is bigger than the other, due the nature of Smash Bros. as a mascot brawler. Sales of previous titles can be argued every which way, but Smash having one iteration per console generation also makes that comparison difficult. On top of that, seeing as how both franchises have sold in the 8 million range...calling one a significantly bigger franchise seems laughable at best.

That being said, Smash Bros. being on a console with a weak install base, as well as being available on 3DS, and Halo being a remake collection puts them both at a disadvantage, so it's not like either title will reach the height of their most recent iterations. I'm going to take the safe route, and predict Halo to outsell Smash initially...but for Smash to sell for a longer period of time and eventually pass it, simply by virtue of Japanese sales, and being one of the few releases on the system. We'll see though...
