It's really too bad Nintendo didn't improve Brawls graphics compared to Melee's graphics, then it too could be a "graphical revolution." <rolls eyes>
And akuma587, I don't think Brawl will reach 4 million easily in Japan. The problem (like I stated before) is that we can't say where it top off at, because the previous versions did not have a userbase to support much higher sales then they had. And nobody say that if someone wanted to play the game they would just have bought the console. That's not how it works. Many of the 20 million PS2 owners in Japan probably didn't think about buying the GC even for 5 or 6 good games, simply because there were more than enough good games on the PS2.
SSB sold nearly 2 million on the N64 which had like 5.5 million units there. Though I think the Wii will be close to double that userbase within the next year, that doesn't mean that the number of the game sold will double. I tihnk it'll easily sell 2 million, and probably make it close to 2.5 million sooner or later, but getting to 3 million might be a bit of a push. At 2.5 million, I think it has a real shot at beating FF13, simply because the userbase won't support it, and (gasp) there won't be enough casual users to give the game legs. I expect about 1.5 million first week (similar to FFX first week, bit lower), but then hardly any legs, ending at about 2 million, which is still very respectable. Course this all depends on when the game is released and how the market has changed since then.
