Ok, hopefully that's what it is. Maybe working out for ~3 hours wasn't the best idea. (1 hour stairmaster, 50 minutes kickboxing, 50 minutes Zumba)

Nah I'm genuinely asking. I think MK11 has a chance to blow up huge given NetherRealms success with the casual market. I'm just wondering if it can match Smash's record sales.
I had the same gut reaction but a lot of people are really underselling MKX. According to the recent "leaked" numbers MKX had ~17M players on PS4 alone. Now not all of those equate to sales, but it's likely that a vast majority of them do, and that's just PS4. Count Xbox, PC, and now Switch for MK11 and it can easily give smash a run for its money considering the best selling single smash entry was 4M less than what MKX supposedly did on PS4 alone.
Like I said it's based on player count not necessarily copies purchased, but that's where it stands currently.

MKX, MK11 and Injustice 2 alone are over 20 million (putting 11 close to X).
MKX + I2 > SFV + TK7 + SC6 + KOF + Pokken + ARMS + DBFZ

I sincerely doubt that that's even remotely accurate. If it's even close, I'm willing to bet that's almost entirely due to used games and borrowing
ARMS + Pokkén DX + Injustice 2 + KoF XIV ~ 10m
MK11 + SFV ~ 10m
Tk7 + DBFZ + SC6 + DoA6 ~ 10m?
I think Ultimate will sell ~25m so...
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Is there a discussion? I didn't even know this was a debate, I'm interested in a pros vs cons of you feel that MK11 would top SSBU

They do, that's why I genuinely wanted to make the comparison. Netherealm is probably the only fighting game company that has even a ghost of a chance of being in the same league sales wise as Smash.
I think DBFZ could do decently well. It's already outsold two Smash games, no?
One of those threads where the answer is so obvious the OP knows it, but still says "fuck it I'm posting" because they love the series that wins by a landslide and feel a need to twist the screws into the loser.

Well uh...this poll sure is close.
Which will sell better: Fallout 76 or Anthem?

I don't know, this doesn't paint that picture.
That has been disproved already. RE7 on that list has more sales than PS4, Xbox and PC put together and that's from Capcom's own data. It's nowhere near accurate.
Dragonball Fighter Z was at 3.5 million by October. Smash on Wii U sold 5.3 million and is one if the least selling Smash games.

Nah, I think NetherRealm Studios is the only company that could make a game that has a chance of it outselling Smash. It's a longshot by far but I do think it's possible.
Oh, for some reason I thought it was at over 5 million. Maybe I was confusing with Xenoverse numbers.
I was mistaken about DBFZ sales, apparently. I was remembering ~5 million, which I feel may have been the number for one of the Xenoverse games instead.
I remember Injustice sold huge right? But considering this is MK. It is going to be bloodbath.

Yeah it was probably this. All Dragon Ball stuff is the same thing to me

I mean, that number is from 6 months after the game came out and was still selling well for it to be noted in news after that plus got an XL edition after that.
Some are off but not all of them. Conversely several people have pointed out how many of the numbers are near exactly the same as what the developers denoted. Even chopping that number in half or cutting it down a third that's still a lot more than people in this thread are giving it credit for, which was my initial point.
