Smash was literally outsold on 64, Wii U, and 3DS by 3D Mario games.

 

Brawl is the anomaly.

Brawl and Melee is how a smash game usually sells. 

On the N64 Smash Bros was a low budget game that wasn't even going to come out of Japan. It was up against the highest selling 3D Mario.
On Wii U and 3DS Smash bros was multi platform. This split the sales by a lot. 3D Mario was only one game and exclusive to their respective consoles. Smash Bros is usually always bigger then 3D Mario since the GC. 

The only anomaly here is that Smash 4 was multi platform. 

smash and 3d mario are so close there no real proof of one selling better then the other on a game to game bases. smash maybe a multiplatofrm release but the difference  is massive in quality because of the hardware, the only way to compare is 3d land  and 3d world combined. it can go both ways, but with how early MO came out, and how well  it's been received, chances are huge that it will outsell the next smash, by a lot. mario galaxy would have also beat smash but it had a sequel so people had 2 choices for a 3d mario game. if there was only one 3d mario game that gen surely mario galaxy one would have sold enough to beat smash.
