Forums - Nintendo Discussion - famitsu interview miyamoto:SSBB talk..wtf only 200k shipped first day

Riot Of The Blood on 02 February 2008

I believe Vgchartz, as I am vgchartz loyalist. I don't care what these guy say, the game sold 500k day one.

Even if they shipped only 200k, many many more should have been shipped by the weekend. So I don't really care.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

Is not true, SSBB sell more of 500k in his first day, I don´t believe y-koron wrong.

my best guess would be that they were reading a paper upside down and back to front, and the 5 looked like a 2... maybe

Thanks for that comment, for some reason that made me bust-up laughing.

There's no source provided.

There seems to be a lack of clarity on the 500k number although you can see where the estimate is coming from.

http://ameblo.jp/sinobi/
50 man= 500k (80% sell through)

It's a Japanese blog that allegedly received this number from a leaked sales report from Famitsu.

http://www.joystiq.com/2008/02/01/rumor-smash-bros-brawl-sells-500k-on-first-day-in-japan/

Then again, NCSX reported that only 25% of production shipped (meaning 2 million initial press?). Referring to the percentage of their order that was received?

NCSX site: http://www.ncsxshop.com/cgi-bin/shop/RVL-P-RSBJ.html

But Japanese retailer Lepton reports similar shortages on initial orders (based on 300-400k shipped)

http://www.japanator.com/elephant/post.phtml?pk=7258

Seems to be a bit of confusion as to what number actually shipped on day 1.
500k pending the alleged Famitsu sales report is legit.
