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.

 Sorry I was not clear enough. I mean worldwide. I will edit my post.

Amazing.....I predicted about 1.5m first day......



 

Big surprise. I would have never thought that one of the most anticipated games ever would sell over 1.25 million.



It is the fastest selling Nintendo game in America if these numbers are close to accurate. Mario 3 and 64 don't come close, Mario 64 launched with N64, the most it could have sold was about 400k in the first week. I'm pretty sure Pokemon Yellow sold 1 million in 2 weeks according to Nintendo and this link

This is a Smash world we live in!



Shit I can't believe I didn't do a prediction.

On Topic: That's a lot of copies sold! I think it will catch up with Halo 3 pretty quickly.

Well let's see Halo 3 did 3.7 odd million first week. Brawl so far has done 2.85 million without Europe/Other. Going to need a collosal release in Europe/Other. Luckily a pretty large userbase when it releases over there, not to mention a time of the year where it should have no competition releasing.



Good Stuff

I'm the first one to claim over 2 mill first week. Go look up the first ever post on Brawl first week sales figures months ago, and check out the second post by me, lol.

 

Go, I'll wait.

 

Fanboys got owned(Not directed at you KoW, but haters in general). 



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

 That was what I was asking. I wonder if Nintendo will ship enough units to Europe. 1 million sounds okay, but I would not bet on much more than this (Nintendo is quite conservative). SSBM legs were impressive, I wonder how much SSBB would sell in a similar manner (sales graphics).

I was telling my friends 1.8 to 2.5 million and saying 1.8 to 2 million was most likely going to be it, cheers to Brawl *now goes back to playing Brawl*
