Around 400k in Nov and 1MIL in Dec.


So an 500% increase over October?
MK managed 600%, but it's MK and was in a drough month period and a bundle.
Has SSB a bundle, too?

If not, no way. And the Black Firday deals are medicore, too. The WiiU is only 30 Bucks cheaper than an Xbox One. Both include 2 games.
No i highly doubt the WiiU will sell anywhere near 400k units in November (4 weeks only). It will be 150 - 300k.

well, who knows, they say super smash bros is having more preorders than mario kart, so i guess it should boost harwdare sales equal or more than what mario kart was able to. We dont have conrete numbers but according to nintendo harwdare sales are being 47% higher than loast year and software sales are 84% higher

I ask again. Does SSB have a bundle, too like MK?
If so, this thoughts are not far from realtiy. But if SSB dont have a hardware bundle, this can go very different.

Last year it went from like 50k in Oct to 700k in Nov+Dec



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

I think so. Mostly thanks to SSBU and MK8.

Yes. but that was 2xxk november and 4xxk December after 50k October
400k November + 1000k December would be 100% YoY grow.

That will not happen. And again. Does SSB have a hardware bundle, or not? Without it is even more impossible.

No. Max could be 800k, but i'm gonna go with 650k.


Just so you are aware. They are up over 45% YOY at this point. So it should put them right around that 1 million sales. Depends how well Smash does though. 



Gotta figure out how to set these up lol.

why wouldnt they have a bundle knowing that is a game as important for the boost of hardware sales as mario kart?
