So Halo MCC beat Smash WiiU Afterall? Or did it?

I remember a lot of people (will need to dig it up) saying Smash would easily outsell Halo MCC first week.

Well, we have first week Halo MCC sales at 1,093m and it doesn't look like Smash is going to even reach 1m.

482k for Americas, 228k for Japan, leaves 290k for Europe/ROTW. UK comes in at 30k~.

Of course either could be over and undertracked but as it stands with VGC.

Smash likely will pass 1 million soon and then leg out in front of Halo MCC sometime early 2015. As great as MCC is, its not without its serious flaws, and more great FPSs are coming to X1 fast and soon and that will cut some of MCC's legs, unless MS decides to permanently bundle it. Smash is a long-term proposition for the WiiU.

Key comparision here should be USA sales. End of November Smash is tracked just over 700k and MCC just under 900k. Shortage of the GC adapter I'm pretty certain are holding back Smash WiiU at this point.
