How many copies do you think Smash 4 will sell?

[BillyBomberBuster]

I hate to be 'that guy' but... why does it matter at all?

As to justify my post, I will guess around the same as the lowest selling Smash Bros. Game. That being the original, with at least 5 million sales. Melee had 7 million sales so I would guess around 7, but apparently the Wii U isn't selling that great.

My logic is that the people who bought the original smash bros represents roughly the size of the true fan base who will buy every smash bros game, no matter what the economy or console sales are. So 5-6 million. Mario Kart 8 had 3 million sales pretty quick so yeah, its hard to say how many will sell in the first few months. Like 2 million at the very least within the first few months.

You are having trouble comprehending what I meant.



Maybe try to state your "point" intelligently then, lol.



That makes zero sense. 3DS didn't turn around because of a Smash announcement before any screens or anything showed up. Sales actually continued to decline until the price cut. It wouldn't have magically not existed if the 3DS were doing better and the console had amazing sales, that would just mean more copies sold.

Learn some basic reading comprehension and punctuation please. GR8 B8 M8, ignored.

you still COMPLETELY didnt understand anything i said, quoted me line for line in an attempt to look cool, and told me the same thing i told you. nice job. lmao

disclaimer: im super excited for this game, love all the smash games, and cannot wait until i own both versions

i honestly dont see it doing to well, by smash standards

wii u is a dead system at this point No it isn't. 3ds will eat wii u sales Possibly, but only due to the larger install base.. which is ironic, since 3ds was doing so bad when it first launched and thats the reason why smash is on it in the first place.Smash is on the 3ds because Japanese gamers prefer handhelds. Vita is the best console in japan right now then it improved tenfold and now wii u is the joke. what a backfire

the game also doesnt have as much going for it other than "new smash" and this is easily the weakest new roster opinion in the series. mega man is an awesome addition, but lets face it, everyone else is just there Completely disagree, robin looks amazing. i cant wait to play as mac too but theres a reason he only just made it in; hes not a big deal He made it in due to his recent reboot and requests of western audiences

i think the backlash this game is going to get once it drops from
1) not being "melee enough" or isnt "inbetween melee and brawl"
2) if at least two of the three holy trinity dont make it in, despite being -the- most requested nintendo characters from 2008-present
wont exactly do the game any favors

ill go with 4 mil on 3ds, and 2 mil on wii I'm assuming you mean in the first month, and I have no idea about the 3ds version, but the wii u version seems about right. Probably a little lower

This year combined accross both platforms, I think it'll sit at 3-4 million. Life time, it may sit at 8-9 million when Wii U and 3DS generation ends.

I think it's safe to say that the majority will be sold on the 3DS, as much as it pains me to say it as a Wii U owner. However, I think it'll still sell well, and that Sm4sh along with the other releases we've been getting and will be getting this autumn and into 2015 will sway more consoles off the shelves (Wii U). We'll probably see the ripple effect from those who bought Mario Kart 8 bundles as well.
