My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

One week of avatar/signature control.

You win if Smash reaches/surpasses 20m LT.

I win if Smash's sales fails to meet the above criteria.

It's a draw if it ends somewhere near (like above 18.5m), because I feel like either bet was justified in that case.

How's that?

Wanna post your low prediction so you don't laugh to hard? 

10-12 million LTD. 

I think there is a good chance we'll be laughing at both of these predictions.

Smash was never as accessible as Mario Kart.

I have a hard time seeing it break 15 million. But I'd love to be surprised. Digital might catch me off guard.

A lot depends on how well the game is received. Having every Smash character all in one game sounds fairly ambitious at first, but then I realized that they are probably using the same game engine that Smash 4 was built with, so it's much less work for them than it sounds. The Smash 4 engine is fine, I guess, but will it feel like a unique entry in the series?

I don't think 25 million is completely impossible, but I think it's the best case scenario. I haven't done too much research into it, but if Brawl sold 13 million on the Wii, maybe Smash Ultimate will fall in line with that, but perhaps maybe 15 million if it's received better.

Nintendo already precised it's a new engine, and even the assets are also all either new or reworked.

Seriously, Nintendo makes a 20min video on Smash's extensive changes at E3 - and yet everybody claims it's the same engine, same assets or even just the same game with some more fighters added. It's getting ridiculous at this point

If that's true, then great, but if I find out that they copy pasted a bunch of stages, characters, items, Pokemon, assist trophies, etcetera, then I'm going to be pretty pissed at you for calling me out for something that I was right about.

A lot of the characters look similar from Wii U, but they’ve been reanimated and upgraded from Wii U so copying and pasting is pushing it. You can utilize a previous game as a basis while still provide a new rendering engine and reanimate characters and adjust the properties of their move sets.

Unless you want to tell us how copy/pasted Link, DK, Zelda, Ganondorf, Mario, Pikachu, etc. are.

Im also sure you can compare Kongo Falls, Magicant, Bridge of Elden, Green Greens, Prism Tower, Great Bay, and Saffron City as well ;)
