Forums - Gaming Discussion - Halo: TheMaster Cheif Collection Versus Smash Bros U

Which will sell more this holiday?

Things Halo has going for it:

-Bigger brand name

-Strong hardware sales

-Tier 2 countries

-Better value

-FPS genre is popular

-Halo 5 beta

-First Halo game(s) on the one

Ben said this game is as preordered as a main storyline Halo game. Expect first week sales to be at least 2.5 million with 4 million sold by years end

 

What Smash Bros U has going for it:

-Wii U has a year head start so more hardware has been sold

-Most Mario fans own a Wii U so Smash Bros will sell gangbustas the first couple weeks

-Smash Bros is going to have little competition with other games on the U

I expect first week sales to be 1.5 million and 3 million by years end. What do you toasty pandas think?

im going to go with mcc because people know what there getting.

but i think both will sell a lot just mcc a little more



I think Smash will have longer legs than the MCC. MCC will outsell it for a while but I think sales will slow faster and Smash will eventually take over. Just my opinion.




Lets keep in mind MK8 shipped+Digital in a little over a month 2.85mil.

If SSBU comes out before BF, then it'll sell massively :)

Will this be combined sales of both the 3DS and Wii U?

Don't know if I'd say Halo has the bigger brand name (especially outside of the US), but I can see this being a win for Smash. It's a brand new game in a new gen and the most recent title(s) in both franchises put Smash ahead (though with their userbases being much closer this time - Halo could still achieve the win). I just don't think The MCC sell as much as some believe. Even with what you say Ben said, he can only speak for one retailer and can't know every single one of those shop's numbers. 

That considered, we'll also have to see how the WiiU hold s up against the X1. If it continues to stay ahead, it may be even harder for it to top Smash, but then, Smash will also be available on the 3DS, which will certainly eat into WiiU sales. Very much a wait-and-see game right now.


Ben has info on many gamestops not just one. I look forward to seeing the sales of both games

Smash is coming this year (3DS) :0

As for WiiU we need to wait and see, if it comes out before BF, prepare for HUGGGGGGGGEEEEE Sales. But like i said it depends on of it releases. 

No matter wat, i expect SSBU+MCC To fight for 2nd/3rd place this holiday for Exclusives
