people will never learn, they called it a major flop once its first week US numbers were up and now it sold about half a million after 5 weeks. hardly a major flop if you ask me. its still 5 weeks on the market and its a new IP. im not saying its going to sell millions but a million sales isnt something crazy to predict not to shabby for a game like this, and these are without digital sales too. 

i hadn't considered that.

Not even close. What is available right now in the game is not even a fraction of the total amount of Playstation characters there is. I don't even know them all.

Didn't know that.

I didn't see one single advert in the UK.

Wait.  You've seen that advert in the UK, over the past month or so?  Now I can safely say that I don't believe you.

The only reason I knew that advert existed is because someone posted the Russian version in the Vita thread. I was actively expecting it to materialise in english, but I never saw it even once.  No word of a lie.

So I'm having trouble believing it was even advertised over here, let alone advertised "a lot".  I'll concede that the chances are the did use that advert for the UK, but if they did, I don't know what channel they showed it on but it certainly wasn't any of the 7-8 channels with adverts that I watch.

Seems Brendude didn't see it either, so it's not just me!

I believe the thought process was...

Smash Brothers is really successful + Sony wouldn't make a smash brothers clone unless they planned to heavily support it + I like sony mascots better then Nintendo ones so it totally should do as well if not better. (I don't but said predictor.)

The main difference I think is Nintendo mascots lend themselves to spinoffs more.  The more successful Sony mascots have a certain level of grim that makes a party fighter seem kinda off... and generally aren't as popular as far as the headliners go.

Well you'd be correct.  Because LTD = Lifetime to Date.

As in... how much is has sold since today.

Would it be a problem if I only had council TV?

There aren't many good channels on TV anymore, truth be told.  7 is a stretch.  There's a few more, but they don't have any adverts.

And yes, I'm fully aware what advert it is, which is why I mentioned the Russian version.  I have not seen that once on UK TV over the holidays.  And I believe that you haven't seen it more than 2-3 times maximum over the holidays either.
