They would've done better with the IP to license it to Nintendo. Smash is the end all for this type of game.

If you mean plat fighters, Rivals 2 is making waves by being a good game first and a platform to sell IPs last.

Rivals has found its niche, but I don’t think even that is pulling in the kinds of numbers Warner expects for a AAA they sunk this much money into.

I don't think this game is AAA or that they sunk much money into it. From what I can tell, they just fell $100M short of very optimistic revenue projections based on high initial player numbers.

That's definitively untrue, and why would Nintendo take that deal anyway?
