Its latest installment, released in 2018, continues to be among the most popular titles for Japanese gamers.
As we see every week with video game sales in Japan, players are still hooked on a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate that completed its roster of fighters last October. Although this installment has been the most successful of the entire franchise, the proposal of Masahiro Sakura has captivated several generations of users, as its number of sales has reached a pretty impressive milestone.
The Super Smash Bros. franchise has sold over 69 million copiesIn this way, all Super Smash Bros. titles add up to more than 69 million copies distributedaccording to the analyst Daniel Ahmad in social networks. Focusing exclusively on the Ultimate version, the latest game in the franchise has achieved some 27.4 million of sales and almost doubles the numbers achieved with the Wii U and 3DS edition (which encompass just over 15 million units sold).
And it is that fighting games have had great fame over the years, and that is why Ahmad wanted to put these figures in perspective along with the sales achieved by other renowned franchises. Continuing with his thread on Twitter, the analyst assures that Mortal Kombat It is the only saga that surpasses Sakurai’s with 75 million units sold, although Tekken (53 million) and street-fighter (47 million) are not far behind.
Of course, Super Smash Bros, has been able to form a large, stable and very dedicated community to their battles, since the hashtag #ThankyouSakurai was a trend on Twitter hours before the last fighter of the game was presented. At the moment, the Japanese creative does not intend to develop a sequel, so we will continue to entertain ourselves with a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate that, as you can read in our analysis, is more than just a fighting game.
