It’s amazing how many people are downplaying Pokemon (this seems to happen every year), the biggest media franchise in the world. This has all the ingredients of a perfect storm of events to have the biggest launch in series history, save some hardcore fans who are upset about the more casual approach.
Then again, Smash Ultimate does have the potential to be the best-selling game in the series. Series history and the Switch’s popularity suggest at least 13m.
I’m going to go with Pokemon, but I wouldn’t be surprised at all if I’m wrong. |
Do people really downplay Pokemon every year? And I do not think this time it is so much that people are down playing it. Just cautious with it not being a mainline entry.

Every year I see at least some people who go "Oh, Pokemon will definitely sell less than [insert other game coming out]" and then Pokemon sells 10m+ like usual and blows the other game away. It's likely not the same people ever year, but it is amazing how many people underestimate it.

I'd say is the opposite lol, is not about people downplaying Pokémon, is about people downplaying Smash, since people even doubt 15 million may happen when right now it's should easy surpass 20 million units.

Not saying that isn't possible, especially if it lives up to the hype. But, series history doesn't suggest it. 15m would make it the best-selling Smash game ever.
