I don't know...I mean, zelda did better than previous entries, true, but it's not so far ahead of twilight princess right now and it was a very anticipated game that released more than 5 years after its predecessor and embraced the open world concept that is so loved lately. SSBU is just...well, an ultimate version of the usual ssb. It will surely sell very well, but I'm not sure it will be able to double the current best selling entry in the series like you think. I'm personally expecting 15 mln, which would make it the best selling ssb game ever.

Also, now that I think of it, you basically expect ssbu to double mario odyssey. It seems a little bit too optimistic to me.

you pretty much nailed it, plus those games got huge boosts by being near launch titles, mario just had insane hype and switch was on fire. this year smash is competing with many  Nintendo games and just looks like a ultimate version sure its great if you're smash fan but not gonna attract new users.

I don't know. I think the marketing of "Everyone's Here" and "the biggest crossover in gaming history" can potentially attract casual buyers. Unless you don't think there's any interest in seeing Mario, Link, Cloud, Mega Man, Ryu, Pac-Man, Sonic, and Simon all in one game. Sure, it kinda worked for Smash 4, but the Wii U was an unattractive system (as much as I liked the Wii U). With the Switch, you got a popular console that's selling well and with more potential to grow instead of a console that had very little momentum.
