Forums - Gaming - Can Smash Bros 3ds hit 1 million first week in Japan?

Based on the sales of the last one, no.


Why would you say something like that good sir?

Well that depends on what you mean by first week. If you mean VGC first week, than I still think yes, but keep in mind that the VGC first week will only include two days of sales, and not include digital. If you go by a full week and include digital, than it will without question.

So on gaf found interesting news. Rumor of initial 800k shipment. This is all retail games. This is huge because of 2 reasons. The first being the game mostly got out of stock within the first day and another rumor of a second shipment arrives Sunday (or Monday). The second reason is they have download cards which famitsu tracks down. That should make Famitsu more reliable than MC this coming week (according to gaf).

Seems as though 700k is indeed the lowest it will do. Include digital codes, digital sales, retail, and hopefully second shipment and one million is possible. Oh my Lord.

 

Interesting from gaf

[3DS] Super Smash Bros. for 3DS {2014/09/13} - ??? (2 days) / ???



If they shipped enough then I think it's entirely possible. Doesn't sound like there are 1 million copies around to buy though.



Have some time to kill? Read my shitty games blog. http://www.pixlbit.com/blogs/586/gigantor21

One million sounds right. I just know though it won't hit that much on wii u though.



YES IT CAN! :)

Its only logical it wont hit one million on wii u. Brawl was at 800k with an install base of over 2.5x the wii u. But thank god nintendo has both versions. Wii u should do between 300k - 500k First Week, which in itself is very very good.



it will probably will hit 1.5 million first week lack of copies (first shipment) will drive demand up, well in theory



old skool

So it really did sell more than a million copies. Rad :)
