Whether a series should be expanded is not entirely dependent on sales. Aloy is not a gaming icon, it's just a fact. Doesn't matter if her games sell more than Sonic or Cloud. People don't buy Horizon for Aloy. People buy Horizon because it's a high production value AAA open world game with cutting edge graphics and decent game design. Lego Horizon, or a Horizon TV show, is devoid of everything people like about Horizon in the first place.
Lose their minds at what a colossal waste of time it was, maybe.
See, I don't care about survival horror, but I can get behind a RE rep.. provided it's Leon exactly. And there's actual history there.
There's a wealth of characters that are third party, but have extremely storied histories tied to Nintendo. Travis Touchdown is a Wii icon.
Unfalsifiable nonsense trying to explain away the series' success--sounds like a Horizon topic for sure.

Yeah, Aloy just isn't on the same tier as Mr. Game & Watch, R.O.B., or Olimar.
To be fair, this is the same roster that has the likes of Terry, Min Min, Pyra/Mythra, & Olimar. And their games don't sell anywhere near a fraction of what Aloy's does. But in Terry's defense, Smash owes its entire existence to him.
I'm sorry, but it's so funny how boldly you're speaking, like an authority or something. Says who? How do you know people don't buy these games because they also like Aloy? Are you really going to say that people buy/bought Final Fantasy 7 for Cloud but it's absolutely impossible others did the same for Aloy?
No More Heroes is one of my favorite games and even I can admit this is a bit dramatic. It was the go to game to point to and go "see, we have M rated titles" in console warring conversations and a solid, but hella janky game otherwise.
Taking hypotheticals way too personally and arguing something you like is more famous than it is.
Smash is serious business...it's also, like, the only big gaming crossover title that isn't Gacha, F2P or a battle royale and which has been about celebrating gaming longer than it has been about just Nintendo characters at this point.
Funny enough, people often don't realize that Japan's request often take priority over the rest of the world when it comes to Smash.
except Horizon isnt that big in Japan? All third party guests were big in japan in one way or another
Oh, then I guess the person I quoted was misled.
I mean is there a good way in determining this? In terms of sales Horizon is probably a top five playstation franchise.

I'd put characters that haven't had a game since the ps3 era over aloy, tbh.
Oooooooo

True, but it ultimately won't matter much without popularity in Japan. For better or worse, Smash is more of a celebration of Japanese gaming rather than gaming as a whole. And if you don't have favor in Japan, you probably won't get very far in terms of Smash inclusion without TONS of demand.I was just browsing the PS blog and caught this from last year. That's actually kind of cool.

When people think Aloy and Horizon aren't making impacts out of the U.S. They're still continuing Aloy's forest project this year as well.
