Wow. Good to hear some confirmation of what we’ve all been expecting. Can you post the link? Oh, and you should post this in the GoW Metacritic thread as well.

What are you basing this off of?

On Wii U with only 14 million owners, Smash Wii U sold over 5 million. On 3DS, with a 75 million userbase, Smash 3DS sold over 9 million.

Brawl sold over 13 million on Wii.

The series' sales have increased over the course of each installment since the original.

The Switch is selling really well and Smash should help increase the user base over the course of the holiday season and beyond as an evergreen title.

its hard to confirm this since the last smash was released on 2 platforms.

Even then, it sold really well on a platform that most people usually don't play competitively on (3DS) and on another platform that had very little momentum left by the time Smash came around (Wii U).

And about your comment of Smash Switch using Wii U assets, I wouldn't be surprised but I don't think it would matter. Every Smash game since the original has used assets from previous games. Heck, Smash 4 was basically built based off the Brawl engine and was modernized to provide a less rugged and more lighter feel than Brawl did.
