Right now Switch is over 7.11 million units in the US, and iwith November+October, there is no way Switch won't have a bigger install base during Ultimate launch. To this, add the fact that most Nintendo series had a very big boost in performance, just look at Odyssey and Breath of the Wild, AND, the hype for Ultimate looks by far bigger than any others Smash games at launch. Oh, and of course, 5 weeks of December VS 5 weeks of March... It's absolutely insane to expect Ultimate to sell less than the 2.7 million Brawl did at launch. |
it's not insane at all. you are comparing it with brawl, which released over a decade ago, and didn't have mario kart, or pokemon as competition, and it was insanely hot wii. a better comparison would be 3ds/wiiu sales combined for the months released and they don't even come close.
