Does Killer Instinct count? That comes with every XB1, so it would probably beat SSB.


no it doesnt.  It is $20/$40 for the full game.  


That's just for more characters as DLC. The actual game is free.


One character is free.  Nothing else is free. $20 to unlock the full game. So i guess it would depend on what you consider the actual game. Id consider the initial download more of a demo.

Season 2 and Season 3 will be more of DLC than the original game's release.

But yes they will prob reveal initial downloads on the game which could manage well above 5m downloads for the first character.

Over 15? Not a chance. Wii U would have to do exceptionally well to get near that figure.

If Wii U manages to sell on par with the N64, I can see it pushing past Melee numbers, maybe 8-9m because its a popular series?


The poll is for a combine number of sales

My prediction

SSB for WiiU= 6.2mil
SSB for 3DS= 4.5mil



Your prediction would require that over a million more consoles be sold, and every single wiiu that sold, for its owner to pick up the game.

Realistically, my guess would be.

 

Wiiu - 1.8mil

3ds - 5.5mil - 7mil

Who knows. Nintendo IPs aren't doing to crash hot on the Wii U atm.


there arent that many ip's yet, pikmin 3 isn't doing to bad, its over 500k for a system that is selling like ****!

 

SSB will do very well regardless, and 3ds might do better, there wont be a fighter that'll sell close this gen imo

On stuff like this i would prefer no polls so people can explain themselves. Over 15m sounds a bit over the top yet it has the most votes so i would like to hear the reason why people think this.


Wats yours? (seperately)


I dont have an exact number.  Between 4-8m on WiiU.  Maybe 3m on 3DS  Certainly not 15m and i would really like to hear the reasons why people would possibly think it would

EDIT:  3DS is a bit unpredictable as we dont really know how people are going to recieve it compared to the superior console version.  So it may not even do 3m.

My reason why 3ds will sell over 3mil easy, japan had brawl with an install base of  around 12.5mil. It sold 2.2mil copies which is a home console and a game you play with friends!

Now a handheld version which are much stronger in sales than consoles is being released for the first time in japan! With an install base thats already at this point surpassed wii's and everybody playing the game will need their own copy! Yea japan alone might sell 2mil-3mil copies!

Looks at Luigi mansion 2! This helps my theory

then it wont count if its installed, since then 3ds face raiders will be the most sold shooter of all time (currently over 35mil!)

Pretty sure there needs to be a monetary exchange for something to count as a sale.
