Forums - Nintendo Discussion - SSBB 500k in it´s first day

as I said in the other thread

First 3 weeks of Super Smash Brothers Melee (GC) were:

1) 360,070
2) 63,843
3) 54,754

First 3 weeks of Super Smash Brothers (N64) was:

1) 218,077
2) 132,721
3) 89,838

so Brawl has sold more on first day than previous versions sold in 3 weeks. Thats amazing :)

Sick Nasty. I'm hoping the second shipment is about 400,000 and we see a .mil on week one.

lol? You sound just like this one guy from the university I went to. That phrase contradicts itself; it means the same thing.

SSBB had supply constraints ._. It could've sold more, Nintendo was too lazy to even think it would be an immense sell-out when it was first STOCKED on a store shelf. They have/had more on the way, you know.

it should have been 700k thats what i predicted.

 Did you predict 700k for the first week or 700k for the first day?

 

If you picked 700k for the first week, you still have a chance to be right. This is only the first days sales.

 

If you picked 700k for the first day, you kinda got cheated. The first shipment was only 620 thousand. Making your predicition impossible :(

Like someone posting a thread calling Wii Fit a flop because it didn't sell 500k in the first week, when Nintendo only shipped 300k.

BTW, I ammend my statement about which is hyped more. I forgot GTAIV, which is the most likely game to top any opening Brawl has (not that MGS4 isn't likely, it is, just GTAIV is more likely). 



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

I only predicted for brawl to have a 350k launch week
its a good thing i only bet vg$10
