Quite impressive. I wonder if it was the supply constraints or launching in the middle of the week that kept SSBB from breaking 1 mil.

hope it hit the high end of sales (1.03 million)

i think it was pokemon diamond's 1.6 million debut

It may have hit 1 million.  I give a 10% range for the prelim data since it is early, so if Smash was 10% higher than the prelim data suggests, then it may have hit 1,000,000.

Man that's awesome. About time Japan got it's act together and bought a seriously awesome game. Put down your braintraining, and pick up your smash.

 SSBB didn't outsell the pokemons? Failure am confirmed.

I lie!  New popular thread to be "SSBB only sells half of the pokemons for first week, lolz".

Here's an amazing stat. The Wii could have 11 titles this week with over 500k sales in Japan.

The PS3 and 360 have ZERO titles over 500k sales in Japan.
