Lol thinking smash doesn't have a chance. Guaranteed it's top 5. Can't say the same with red dead. As much hype is behind it, it's nowhere near as much as gta 5 was which made back its budget day one in preorders.

Red Dead Redemption 2 will gross more than the top movies at the box office this month in its first 7 days. I have 30 some year old friends that are buying a PS4 just to get this game on day one.

RDR 1 sold 15 million copies, and this is a bigger more epic sequel. People who bought GTA 5 are dying for a new Rockstar game. I bet it will sell upwards of 25-30 million copies.

Smash will do well no doubt, and I'll get both, but RDR 2 is going to be the king on PS4 and Xbox One.

Do people really think Smash Broathers is gonna do big numbers in 2018? I think everyone is way over those games. I couldn't be less interested.

Pretty certain God of War, Spider-Man, Assassin's Creed Odyssey, and (obviously) RDR 2 will outsell Smash. So yeah, maybe it can be 5th. But then there's also Fallout 76 which might do huge numbers but I wouldn't be sure of that.

This.

if Spider-Man sold 3x what it did now it probably still would not outsell Call of Duty and probably won't outsell RDR2 either.

The best selling game on every non Nintendo system every year is Call of Duty except for when this one time it was GTA5.

You have to factor how many people own a console to play Smash versus how many have consoles to play RDR2.

https://www.gamespot.com/articles/top-10-best-selling-games-of-2017-revealed-in-the-/1100-6456205/

Zelda made top 5 despite being exclusive, the other 4 were multi platform. Gta surprised me being number 6. To be clear, I'm not implying that RDR2 won't do good numbers, I'm just saying smash's first year is likely to beat it. As for sales this year, RDR2 has 9 weeks of release in the year whereas smash will only have 4.

Zelda is not freaking Smash Bros dude. Nobody cares about Smash anymore. It will not do big numbers.

Idc cus it's better than all of those games and I only pay attention to things that I like so as to avoid feeling wrong, hurt, upset, or a combination of the three.

https://comicbook.com/gaming/2018/08/26/super-smash-bros-ultimate-nintendo-switch-amazon-best-selling/

This was about a month ago so this may very well have changed. And a few things to note, multi platform games are registered separately so a game like call of duty or red dead will have 2 separate numbers for 2 platforms. And Amazon isn't the only place to buy games. But either way, assuming preorders don't cancel en masse, it's the single best selling game of the year on arguably the biggest marketplace to sell products.

It'll. Do. Numbers.

By years end? No. As stated red dead has like a 6 week head start. I do however think it'll sell more in its first year then red dead will in its first.

Smash will easily sell 10+ million but I think RDR2 will sell even more.

Rockstar is an absolute behemoth of a company now. GTAV blew GTAIV sales away.

COD can go either way. Depends on how that Battle Royale does.

At the very least this is gonna be a huge holiday season for these games. I'm not sure if a holiday season has had this many potential 10+ million sellers.

GTA 5 might be the best game of the generation, and I myself don't even like it all that much. But I can look past my personal preferences and see that this shit has been fucking quality.

It's possible for RDR2 to outsell the entire Switch userbase.

The story is not repetitive in the slightest. And the characters being awful is a very uncommon opinion.

disastrous online because Rockstar went full anti-consumer


I understand hating on them for the microtransactions but to say it is disastrous is very dishonest.

The game has sold 95 million copies for a reason.


god what an awful post
