I think Others might be low, as such a bloody long wait will force us to get freeloaders and import >_>

WOW i didnt even get my copy day one unless all the preorders were counted as day one sales, but still its amazing.
@Cheetos1 "How much was you expecting on day one with only 2mil shipped and most of them preordered so no need to rush out and get them the same day?"
Geez. That's impressive. So about 1.8-2.0 million for the week. Putting it about 2.65-2.85 million so far for the first week without Europe/Other. Impressive.
| Riot Of The Blood said: It could have sold more if Wii's were available. Still, this is a great achievement, and I'm happy that the game did this good. Let's hope this game can hit 14m and become something great. Maybe that will land us more third-party mascots in the future. |
that is why it will have such amazing legs, many people who get a Wii from here on out will want brawl.
End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)
Wii- 72 million 3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases
360- 37 million Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak
PS3- 29 million Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

Yeah but by the time others gets brawl the wii would have almost doubled in consoles soled. That is twice the gcs lifetime.
Nice sig ioi! :^)

Bet with OriGin: Within 1 year Super Smash Bros. Brawl will be ahead of Mario Kart Wii (when aligning the one whole year from each region). 2 week ban from Vgchartz for the loser. Edit: Darn! Looks like OriGin will win.

That would be technically impossible. Halo 3 sold near to three million units during its truncated first week. Read the first post only two million copies of the game are available for purchase. Even so I would find it doubtful it could match those kind of sales. Even so those are some good sales, but I do think its too early to gloat.
Nintendo fans haven't had any first party offering for around four months. Their console hasn't had any mega hit games in that time. So the first week sales should be wonderful regardless. The most important sales figure in North America is whether the title can get over three million in domestic sales, and following the law of halves that might take a few months. Basically beyond three million and the title is proving a point.
Thats when a title begins to prove it has appeal beyond the hardcore fanatics. So that is what is most interesting. The only title to really do that on the platform was Galaxy. Everything else has stalled out under three million in spite of the growing user base.
GG to Brawl
Insane numbers for sure
when u think the title will have great legs ...
Time to Work !
Wow, glad to hear things are going as well as many here predicted.
As they say:
"The nice part about being a pessimist is that you are constantly being either proven right or pleasantly surprised."
It looks like this time I will luckily be partaking in the latter benefit.

if it follows the law of halves it will be 3.2 after 2 weeks milion after 3 weeks and 5 million after 5 weeks.
Brawl will be lucky to sell 500k week 2, then 300k week 3.
