Here is the NPD Sales prediction thread - http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=192269&page=1

Few posts in there suggesting Smash would Smash Halo MCC WW!! Even I thought it was a full gone conclusion Smash would win.

Don't blame yourself. In this hyped up Smash environment that is called VGC forum it's easy to think that Smash U is the reborn Messiah that will outsell everything that came before it.

If Smash isn't strong enough to reach MCC the next stop is MK8 vs MCC :)

And if that fails we always have NSMBU vs MCC! That will probably show that stupid collection who is the boss.

I remember a lot of people (will need to dig it up) saying Smash would easily outsell Halo MCC first week.

Well, we have first week Halo MCC sales at 1,093m and it doesn't look like Smash is going to even reach 1m.

482k for Americas, 228k for Japan, leaves 290k for Europe/ROTW. UK comes in at 30k~.

Of course either could be over and undertracked but as it stands with VGC.


Smash likely will pass 1 million soon and then leg out in front of Halo MCC sometime early 2015. As great as MCC is, its not without its serious flaws, and more great FPSs are coming to X1 fast and soon and that will cut some of MCC's legs, unless MS decides to permanently bundle it. Smash is a long-term proposition for the WiiU.

Key comparision here should be USA sales. End of November Smash is tracked just over 700k and MCC just under 900k. Shortage of the GC adapter I'm pretty certain are holding back Smash WiiU at this point.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

As for Halo: It would have done better if 343 didnt fuck it up and release broken piece of shit as far as multiplayer goes, I personally have not had any major issues but too many have and bad PR isnt something MS needs. I guess 343 ran out of money or they are just that incompetent.

As for SSMB: Its Niche enough as it is, and it doesnt help nintendo made the gamecube adapters in short supply for limited time. They need to give reasons to buy a wiiu and they keep limiting themselves however they can. "Management" being piss poor once again.

That isn't what the thread or expectations are about tho is it.

Are you including all the returns of MCC due to it's still broken multiplayer? If not then Smash brothers probably did win.

You mean just November then? Yes then Halo MCC beat Smash thanks to the X1's massive boost particularly in the US. Considering how large a boost X1 had, it's kind of a miracle that Smash could really even come close.

Lifetime it could win, first week I thought MCC would

Bro, Smash is nothing against Halo.




Dr.Vita talks about Playstation Vita in 2016!
Playstation Vita Media Create Sales (2014 vs 2015 vs 2016)
Playstation Vita Japan Retail Software Sales (2013 vs 2014 vs 2015 + 2015 LTD Edition)
Prediction: Nothing will outsell PSP anymore (except Playstation home consoles)

Not really, considering WiiU has Japan to offset.

This is about first week, where most though Smash would own Halo MCC.
