| Nautilus said: Smash 4 did about 13 millions, which its about the same as the last best selling 3D Mario game(Mario Galaxy), so at least regarding past entries, its about as appealing as one of the best selling Nintendo franchises.Then you have to consider that every single long standinbg Nintendo franchise has been selling much ebtter on the Switch.So this 25 millions isnt THAT far fetched in my opinion. |
You're combining two versions that the director feels are separated entries to reach that amount, however. Switch version is only one version, and the last (and only one) time that Smash outsold everything else was in the Gamecube era.
Also since I'm lazy, I'll redirect you to the reply I gave Wyrdness not to type all that again:
| Wright said: I merely base my opinion - one that I've already stated didn't even have a WW number set on mind when I entered this thread - on the fact that Smash has never been the best-selling title of any Nintendo console it has been present in aside from Gamecube, which I feel it's a one-of-a-kind scenario for the franchise, since it has consistently been outsold by Mario Kart ever since (and Mario Kart GC ended up very, very close to Melee too). If Mario Kart creeps out bigger legs and eventually sit over 20m, to put an example, then I'd modify my expectations for WW Smash - lower than 20m, but wouldn't rule out 15m. Basically my MO is just make it sit below Mario Kart by a certain margin, taking in consideration the sales history of both and even the Gamecube's deviancy factored in. Added reply to StarDoor: [...] I too worked that out with Odyssey's current numbers, rather than the potential legs, which explains the lowballing. Again, further sales will make me modify the current prediction, that I have no problem with. [...] |
