The definitive SSBB NA first week sales thread

So... you really think the Wii will sell 400k or more next week, in America alone? After adding in Europe and Japan sales, that would put the Wii well over 500k, closing in on 600k. In mid-March. Umm.... OK. You might want to keep in mind that the Wii has never topped 450k in a non-holiday week, and it's only bettered 350k twice. But hey, since Smash Brothers is going to sell 3m copies week one, and better the Halo launch, I guess that's no problem, right?

I don't want to say "I told you so", but... well, I can't think of a way to end this sentence without saying "I told you so."

Just remember: hardware never spikes as much as everyone thinks it does for major game releases. I did think we'd see sales around 200k for the week though.
