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

750k first week possible?



Around the Network

So 400-450k retail in 3 days and perhaps ~300-350k first sales week on VGC (it ends on Nov 22). It's a bit lower than I expected and a LOT lower than some people expected (I saw 1.2m being thrown around in a thread here)

Decent number.  But no mention of hardware boost, however anecdotal or early, is telling.

Well I never noticed WiiU near the top on Amazon either despite the game being very high


Nintendo did not start selling nintendo wii u directly until literally today as in nov 25 .....they were only sold through second hand distributors ....Amazon and Nintendo had a dispute regarding selling hardware through Amazon but it must have been resolved because today is the first time they started selling it directly through Amazon 



This is sales for 3 days ...so basically it could have sold between 600,000 to 800,000 total first week sells that is very good/great sales either way you look at it

What did Nintendo say about digital % recently? (I still have a 10% figure floating in my head).

I don't reckon as low as 300 - 350k retail first two days.

I think this game will easily sell 4M+ by the end of the year.



"I think it will be the HDS"-Me in regards to Nintendo's next handheld.

I also think many Smash fans are getting the bundle with the GC adapter, so this game might not have very many digital downloads...

490k in 3 days with digital, 440k retail(?) and then maybe 350k first two days retail.

Well I think 10% is a decent estimate for digital

so VGC will have it at 440k most likely.

EDIT: that was for 3 days, but it's true that the first week only includes 2 days, so it's gonna be ~400k-ish.



Why the fuck is Nintendo so silent about this game. They were pretty loud about MK8...
