Forums - Nintendo - Can SSBU outsell MK8 first week in Japan?

brute on 08 December 2014

As the title says, can it do it? According to VGChartz, MK8 opened to 335k first week. SSBU so far has underperformed most of it do to the earlier release of the 3DS version. I personally believe that it will not outsell it with my reason being that Japan is 3DS's strongest market, so here Smash 3DS will have eaten even more of its sales, I really hope that I am wrong here, but we shall see. I think Smash WiiU might open around 250k.

What do you guys think, can it do it? Also my apologiez if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find any other/similar topics.

It barely outsold MK8 first week in U.S and this being in November with a bigger userbase, it sold half as much n U.K. Now no one was expecting it to outsell MK8 lifetime, but most thought it would beat it first week atleast. You can't in all seriousness say that you expected it to sell this amount and not more, you'd just be lying to yourself. 

Also last week in the U.K it got outsold by Just Dance on Wii!!

COMG preorders had Mario Kart higher. Smash could still win I don't know. We'll see.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

I still don't understand why people think Holidays will help SSBU but not MK8.


I was asking for launch week in Japan, i didn't say over the course of the holidays. My question was week 1 of SSBU in Japan vs. week 1 of MK8 in Japan which was 335k.

That post was directed at the person above me.

I don't even have a guess for FW numbers. Should be SSBU if I believe the Smash hype of this forum.
