Eh, it looks like this game will be a slow burner. It got just over 90,000 during its release which isn't bad considering it got NO marketing after release. It fell of after that though. If Sony wants this game to sell, they need to release DLC, and drop the price to around $29 (if the price isn't dropped already). 1 million is not impossible, but it will never outsell SSBB.

SSBB outselling PSABR is no surprise....you are pitting a Sony first party title that is like the first of its kind and has characters that are not well known compared to a Nintendo First Party title that has memorable characters/icons that have been known for more than 1 generation.

He is pitting a game that came out less than two months ago against a game that came out almost five years ago.

As an owner of PSASBR, I can say the poor sales are justified.

Not to say I don't enjoy the game, but it's certainly nothing to brag about. It has a lot of glaring problems in the battle system that, honestly, make it pale in comparison to anything SSB.

The game is nowhere near the quality of Smash Bros IMO. Sales are where they should be.

Its just crazy its already $40!

Just going to say it since no one else will. Sony All Stars sucks. Ok sucks might be too harsh but it isnt all that good either. I haaaated the beta.

Judging a game from a beta is horrible. If I did the same I would own no games. 

 

It's one of the funnest fighters I've played and hopefully it will have some form of legs.
