Sakurai sees them as separate entries because they were two projects to him(as a developer).Dosent change that the very few differences betwenn them makes them more like different versions of the same game, like it was a multiplatform game, rather than separate games.Given that, Smash 4 sold around 13 million units, about the same as the big sellers Nintendo had in the past.So the potential is there.
And while its fine that you think like that, its a rather simplistic way to view things Wright.Using past records and data to try to understand future events is fine and even necessary, but lowballing that the Switch is breaking every kinds of records, be them hardware related or software related, is extremely vital and makes predictions based on past entry sales somewhat unreliable.The Switch effect, as Ill call it just for making things easier, is exponentially increasing the sales of existing franchises.BOTW is already the best selling Zelda entry to date.Oddyssey will be definelly.XC2, as of 31th March, has sold 30% more than any of the other entries AND is the best selling Xeno game.And Mario Kart is selling better than the original entry by far, and there are certainly people like me, in a significant number, that havent bought the game simply because we have already bought the original game(which skews your argument too).And Im not even mentioning the high interest in software in general in the Switch(Third parties sales and stuff)
Honestly, I wouldnt even be surprised if Smash 5 managed to sell 10 millions(shipped digital) in 1 month.

This is mostly because like I said, I entered this thread without any prediction in mind. I checked Nintendo's hardware/software sales from their webpage and worked a prediction from there, which I've repeatedly stated I don't mind modifying conforming Odyssey's/MK8DX's continuous sales in the charts.
What I confidently say is no chance of Smash Ultimate selling 25m, and I am willing to bet about it.

Well, im not certain it will reach 25 millions so Im not taking that bet XD
I just find it likely.What I do think is that I certainly see it reaching 20 millions LT.That I can safely say.I guess time will prove who is right!!!!!
