Thought about this, with the Nintendo quarter report and all the update for the software, now Super Smash Bros Ultimate is the best selling Super Smash Bros. game.
It's surely not a surprise, as a lot of games on Switch have archived new record for the series, but is still interesting to see the thrend of this series, as every game released so far have sold more than the previus one. That's not something you see every day, expecially for a 20 years old series.
Numbers for context:
Ultimate = 15.71 million
Smash 4 = 14.91 million
Brawl = 13.27 million
Melee = 7.41 million
Smash 64 = 5.55 million
.
I predicted 25 million units lifetime for this game back in July 2018, so far this prediction is looking good.
