Because that isn't true. Artificially high Wii sales of the game do not = fanbase, go look at other Nintendo franchises as a comparison for this.

Halo is in the 6 - 7m range (and 4m for side titles), Smash is in the 3 - 4m. And that's with it being a leggy franchise. So why people are expecting such a huge FW week on what is by far their smallest ever userbase for a Smash release is beyond me.

Like I said. What you're saying about Smash should be true about MK (Sold a lot last gen, huge franchise) yet it hasn't sold as fast as Halo MCC in the US.

Seece you do relize that halo got bigger because of casuals as well right

What has that got to do with anything? Halo has been in a consistant range (Halo 2 did on par with 4, 3 and such). And will continue to do those numbers this gen (Read, MCC won't do these figures obviously).

Smash last gen got a huge boost because everything on Wii sold well. Before that the Gamecube copy did well, but there is no precedence of Smash being huge in the US.
