Smash actually didn't really help the series at all. The introduction of Marth, Roy and Ike didn't do anything to the Fire Emblem sales. The sales actually decreased from each game. Awakening had already sold almost 140m before the announcment of Robin/Lucina.

Awakening was just released at a VERY good time with good marketing. Smash helped some but not a ton. I think they were just lucky with this one. (Which their luck will continue as I believe Fire Emblem is going to always continue to sell well now.)

the reality is there are limited quality choices in the genre- Fire Emblem games will continue to do very well if they keep coming out in high quality installments

Path of Radiance Radiant Dawn was in my opinion, and a lot of others, the best Fire Emblem games and both of them only sold about 1m together. High quality doesn't always ensure high sales.
