Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Smash Bros. Wii U sells over 490,000 units in the U.S., fastest-selling Wii U game ever

Not bad, I guess. Waiting for that hardware boost.

3DS version sells 705K in 2 days

Well the 3DS has an install base of 40 million, so that makes sense...



That's it?? Not sure if that's suppose to be good news but I'll wait to see how much they've sold in the first week.

What do you mean "Thats it?".

500K in two days in one territory is not bad at all.



imagine if there is also a wii U bundle and a free game, like happened with MK8.

The 705k frist 2 day is US only
Ur 40 million install base figure is worldwide




We did some Christmas shopping on the 22nd in Huntington, WV. It's not a big city by any stretch. Copies of Smash were sold out or low stock at 5 or 6 places(all the ones that carried games) we went to. Amiibos were also sold out or out of stock. YMMV, but my local opinion is that Yoshi amiibos will be common and Villager and Wii Fit Trainer, not so much. We snagged the last Marth and Pikachu(every other store was sold out of these ones).

The stuffed Nintendo characters were getting hammered too according to Gamestop and Toys'r'us staff. We bought a Pikachu cause Pikachu. lol. I think Nintendo is going to survive just fine. I really wish they had a Skylanders type Amiibo game.

Super Mario Amiibo RPG anyone?



I guess I was expecting too much from november/holiday sales. 3DS version may have hurt the launch as well.

3DS has still sold far more than Wii U has in the USA.

500k in US against 702k in US means the Wii U SSB will probably outsell the 3DS SSB. Or would do if they had the same installbase.



But what about the WiiU itself?
