Why games like Smash selling like they are helps the industry...

How is it good for the industry? There is no indication the industry is or will be better off than it was years ago. Established franchises are doing well, and thats it. Good for them. There is nothing beyond.

Established IPs that do shady practices are not doing well such as Fallout 76, Destiny 2, Battlefront 2,  and Battlefield V.

 

Established IPs that do things RIGHT are doing well such as Zelda, Smash, Red Dead Redemption, SFV , and God of War.

 

Newer IPs that are doing things right are successful such as Octopath Traveler, Horizon Zero Dawn, Splatoon, etc.

 

The entire point went over your head.  These IPs are doing better than they EVER HAVE, while those that do shady practices are failing and catching major backlash.  This discourages shady business models and encourages complete and full experiences out of the box.  That is why it is great for the industry as a whole.  Or do you prefer being sold part of a game and charged more money to complete the experience?
