It depends on the sales of the consoles.

I don't think that's how it works. Especially Smash Bros, it was the highest selling game on the GC and sold more than your Wii U prediction.

But Titanfall is a new franchise. Why should it sell so much, I ask?

What does being new have anything to do with sales? Plenty of new IPs on their first outing do gangbusters.

Mario Galaxy games did around 10m no? I don't see Super Mario World 3D getting near those figures. Gamecubes userbase was very densley Nintendo fans, I don't think the WiiU is going to be similar.

Very true, and I don't anticipate these games to do as much as the Wii counterparts. Indeed, I expect SSB to sell much more than 3D World, hence I never mentioned it in my post.

But a new IP at launch for the Xbox One is unlikely to ever pull mega numbers, above 1.8mil is out of reach IMO. A sequel could do much better, but I don't see it doing particularly well for these reasons. I could be wrong, of course. I hope so, because it looks damn good! But a new IP, for a launch of a new system, outselling Smash Bros.? I don't see it. 

Well, Gears of War reached 6 million and that was a year after launch, there is only a 6 month gap between the two.

Titan Fall outselling Smash Bros and selling the same amount as 3D Mario.......Bahahahahahahah!!!!


I'm not sure how much 3d mario and smash bros did on the wii but i think it was 10 million for each, i just halfed the numbers. 

I don't think that's how it works. Especially Smash Bros, it was the highest selling game on the GC and sold more than your Wii U prediction.

But Titanfall is a new franchise. Why should it sell so much, I ask?

I expect the one to outsell the wi u. Which is why i gave it such numbers, more hardware sales will cause more software sales and the game being an exclusive i gave it a number which is close to gears 1. As for wii u numbers i expect compeition to cut the legs of a couple of games. 

Console sales do not always mean smaller ltd for software. Take Mario Sunshine for example. 6.31 million units sold on a console that only pushed 22 million units. Wii U will surpass GC sales imo (I'm predicting 60-80 mill ltd) and Mario 3D will mostlikely end up with 8-10 mill in sales. Smash Bros U, I'd say between 10-12mill.

Can somebody explain to me why so many people think Donkey Kong will only do 1-1.5 million?
