Forums - Nintendo Discussion - BOLD PREDICTION: Super Smash Bros Ultimate (Currently 17.68mil) Will Sell over 25mil WW Lifetime, Book IT

I was delightfully proven wrong. And it probably was digital that caught me off guard.
Nintendo really upped their game significantly with the Switch eShop.

Personally, I'm not smitten with this edition of the game, so I haven't bought it, and we're not exctly at 25 million yet. But here's the enthusiasm!

Ahh, seems I was dead wrong. Happy about it though, Smash deserves all the sales it can get.

While the conditions haven't been met yet, I'll honor Nautilus bet about it.



Pretty much 19m at this point which means it has sold more than some fighting games have sold in their entire series that's insane.



I'll wait until it passes the prediction for the wall of shame of the naysayers.

Again, tbone was proven right



It's actually happening lmao

tbone51 is the king of impossible forecasts

Mario Kart 8 D will definitely outsell Smash. However I expect Mario Kart to sell 40m-50m. Therefore it's possible for Smash to still do 25m+

Err... Calm down son! Mario Kart isn't getting close to 40m. 25m max.

While not about Smash, this prediction in this thread also is pretty funny now and deserves some crow serving.



Gotta say.  I just read through this thread again and I was very entertained.  With a thread like this, who needs Netflix?

I still think 15 million is a good prediction. I think 20 million is also a good prediction. 25 million is like best case scenario with some miracles thrown in. We'll see what happens. I think Smash 5 will be bigger than 3D Mario and Breath of the Wild.

Well, I was right about Smash being bigger than 3D Mario and Breath of the Wild. Looks like miracles happened and Smash hitting 30 million is not out of the question.

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true

Do Not Click here or else I will call on the eye of shinning justice on you. 

Yeah 25 mil is guaranteed at this point. I think it could take a serious run at 30 million.
Well deserved. The best game in the series and so far my favorite and most played game on Switch!



5M to go now
