Really depends on how many units they can throw into the US and Others channels for launch. I don't expect it to sell QUITE as well as Halo 3 in the US or Europe during launch week.

Kinda funny that Smash isn't being marketed at anywhere NEAR the level Halo 3 was and it should approach Halo 3's first week numbers, even if it doesn't pass them.

Heh, a website and a slow trickle of information leading to almost as many sales as an expensive media blitz. Marketing genius that was.

I think whatever the scenario, they need to release Everybody's Nintendo Channel along with a tonne of smash bros commercials on said channel -- and they need to do it in the next week in USA

Most of the people that kind of advertising would reach would already know about the game.  Only a relatively small percentage of Wiis (well, less than half) will have Internet access.

Depends how many SSBB are shipped in NA and Europe. Else, I would say SSBB lifetime

 how do u know only half of Wii owners have internet access? Doesn't that mean only half of PS360 owners have internet access too. anyways, yeah, Ninty needs to advertise this game more

Smash has outsold Halo 3 lifetime in Japan by like 8:1, in its first week. Apparently American Preorders are already over the Galaxy ones and I expect Europe to follow suit. If it doesn't pass it week 1, it'll be close.

^well that's not surprising considering the small install base of the 360 in Japan. R u saying that SSBB will pass Halo lifetime in week one?? No way!!! But I could see it doing it in a month or so.

^yeah it will be very close

SSBB will sell more opening week and lifetime.

I used to think Halo 3 was going to win first week, but lose lifetime. After Japan I've started to think Brawl might have a bigger launch as well, but the chance is probably still way under 50%.
