PSASBR is what? Around 1.4mil on 2 platforms?

It will make more money easily in SSBU first week than PSASBR did lifetime.

A slap in the face for curl-6. Doubly so, because he just created a duplicate.

Pfft, I take comfort in the knowledge that MK8 will still sell more lifetime thanks to longer legs. :P

Nice. It seems to be getting a larger push as well. Mario Kart 8 will still come out on top in the end though, Smash Bros. doesn't have the legs Mario Kart has in the US. As an example, Mario Kart Wii is still selling on Amazon near the top 100 yearly, non-bundled, Brawl is nowhere on the list.

*waits for someone to use Gamecube sales of Smash Bros. and Double Dash to somehow show that Smash Bros. will come out on top*

What were MK8's preorders like?

I meant in the sense that you complained about Nintendo making a 3DS version that was sure to cannibalize the Wii U.

I stand by that; Smash U sales would be higher without the cheaper alternative.

SSBM>MKDD :P

Bro SSBB still charting too, the game outsells other games despite being 7 years old :0   MK8 should be on top, MK+2D Mario are games people buy with a nintendo console, while people buy nintendo console for smash!

C'mon, that just sounds like a sore loser :-/ 

SSB3DS overall isnt affecting SSBU sales lifetime, if they are its minor. Like i've been saying this whole time. The gamecould sell 8mil and people will still say 3ds version hurt it. I guess MK7 hurt MK8 sales as well

Allowing players the option of a cheaper way to get their fix will of course hurt sales of the more expensive option.
