Were previous Smash games this evergreen? I realize a good chunk of them were on consoles with much smaller userbases, but I'm consistently impressed with how often Smash Ultimate charts. 3 years of DLC helped of course.

i don't think anyone expected it to have legs like the rest of nintendo evergreen games. it did really well for what it was but yea, it dropped off after a few months.

It did but that was expected , it never had evergreen potential. Also the ‘drop-off’ people talk about 2.7M units to 2.9m units in only quarter is result of Christmas shippments by Dec 2021 it had only sold-through 2.2m units not 2.7m. Dread is having decent legs it will keep selling slowly for years like the other ‘niche’ Nintendo release

I wonder if the addition of football in Switch Sports is helping sway Europeans into buying the game.

While hardware sales in Europe are probably the best in any region (in the sense of they are around 2021 sales so there isn't any drop in hw sales like there is in Japan) there hasn't been any growth in hardware sales after Switch Sports release more than the sales already expected so I wouldn't think it's pushing any important hw numbers

According to Wikipedia (so take this with a grain of salt..) Melee was the GC's best-selling game (and was top10 and top5 for Wii and WiiU) so yeah, it's pretty much an evergreen. None of them were as big as Ultimate, though.

It was never going to bomb. People attribute online hype and discourse to sales when that's never the case with Nintendo games. Casual gamers aren't going to care that Darts and Basketball aren't in the game at launch. The only thing they might care about is the leg strap being unusable for soccer right now, but that isn't a big feature.
