It’s good for the industry when any game sells well. I’d like to see the receipts on all those games you listed “losing a lot of money”. Two of them came out like 2 months ago or less, hard to see how they could have lost “a lot of money”. Especially considering they are online focused titles with mostly rehashed content.
Gamers have always valued good games with good amounts of content. There’s a lot of fuss about microtransactions and how “single player games are dying” but all three console makers and lots of big publishers still put out tons of good, meaty games with single player functionality.
You know what would really make Smash’s sales great? If Nintendo took some of those profits and invested in a number of new IPs.
