Mortal Kombat 11 came out in March 2019 running off the momentum of Mortal Kombat X which sold 11 million copies, making MKX the best selling MK game of all time and the best selling real fighting game of all time.
We know that Mortal Kombat 11 has done well in most NPD and international charts most of the year, and we know that it had passed Kingdom Hearts 3 early this year. Kingdom hearts 3 sold 5 million in only a few weeks so we don't know where KGIII sales were at in June, but in June we received articles reporting that MK 11 outsold KGIII as the best selling game of 2019 at that point.
This means that by June we know MK11 sold at least over 5 million, how much more? We don't know, but we know it charted well for months and just had large sales in stores for November.
Some outlets say Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is the best selling "fighting game" at 15 million units.
This brings me to the following prediction. I believe that it may be possible that MK11 will sell or come close to selling 10 million units by the end of the year. Everything shows MK11 much selling faster than MKX, and it has been charting well for most of the year. This would put MKX in a prime position to outsell Super Smash Ultimate which is slowing down in sales. MK would only have to sell around 6 million more or so in order to best SSBU and prove these outlets incorrect.
I think there's a very strong chance of this happening.
