Let's be realistic: If the game manages 1.5-2m, then that will be pretty good already for what it is.

Gilgamesh, it's commendable that you didn't predict that PSABR would outsell all SSB games combined. Even better, you didn't even claim that it would beat SSBB alone. This could either mean that you are not drunk or not drunk enough.


He wouldn't be Gilgamesh if he weren't being outrageously optimistic about the PlayStation family.

Okay....

Cloud/Sephiroth + 1 million

Kratos +1 million

Snake old/naked +1 million

Nathan Drake + 1 million

sackboy + 1 million

Sweet Tooth + 500K

Ratchet and Clank +500K

Crash+500K

Spyro+250K

Other (FF, RE, Kingdom hearts, Tony Hawk, Gran turismo car...etc) +500K

Total: 7.25 million....makes sense.

Like I said this is only the beginning....

SSB sells because Mario is on the cover. Unless PASB has him on the cover, it has no chance.

You're overestimating some of those figures. Spyro and Crash are irrelevant, Sweet Tooth was never really big, Sackboy is not going to move a million by himself, and there's been no news about 3rd party characters yet. You might as well say that PlayStation Move Heroes should have sold a million based solely on its roster.

The nostalgia behind Crash would be enormous

Unlikely. Crash didn't disappear sometime in 2000 or so. He was milked to death. Crash games kept on coming out as late as 2008. And guess what? Nobody liked them, so sales plumetted. Unlike Sonic, who seems to have sales regardless of what he does, Crash is a murdered franchise.

SSB sells because it's a fun as game. Mario have helped with the first game, but once it made a name for itself, people loved it for it's quality.

Hmmm. Interesting. I could see it outsell SSBB, especially with the promise of DLC characters. Imagine having people like Crash, Cloud/Sephiroth/Tidus, or even Command Shepard (Highly unlikely, but you never know) drop by and they would fit the world of PASBR perfectly. We'll see, the game has tons of potential and so far, most PS fans have been showing a lot of hype for it. Like you said, we have been drooling for this game for years!
