Brawl Needs 1 369 466 sold on Others/Europe Launch.

Do you still think it's possible?

Right now, I'm not sure... I think it is Plausible, but I'm kind of Skeptical...

maybe, but i think it will be close



Wasn't Others generally the weakest market for previous Smashbros? I say it'll be a little hard for it to top Halo 3 out of the gate.



Japan is helping quite a bit, but it looks like Halo 3 will end up having bigger first week sales anyway. Brawl still has a chance, but I'd rate it as 25% at the most.



There are almost no chances for this. Others don't have as big userbase as America and most games aren't as frontloaded there as they are in America and Japan. The fact that Nintendo waits with European release. The game won't be as hot when released in Europe and the biggest fans (those that would buy SSBB on first day) will import the game from US.

Brawl needed to do 2m in NA to have a shot at it imo. As I've said before though it doesn't really make a difference in the long run. Getting near Halo 3 is a major accomplishment, and I think some people forget that too easily. Halo 3 is the golden pinnacle of first week launches not the standard by which all games are to be measured, keep that in mind.



To Each Man, Responsibility

No, not possible.



I still have a small wee bit of a shred of a molecule of hope!
I'm expecting Launch sales to be near that of Japan at least, bringing it within 500k. Which is Pretty damn close!

I don't think so, but it's possible.



I have been saying this for a while now. NO WAY WHAT SO EVER!!! Do people even bother to check sales of previous games in the series?

1) It would have to outsell LTD sales of SSBM in one week, in 'Others'.

2) It would have to have a similar first week to that of NA. SSBM being roughly FOUR TIMES more popular in NA than in 'Others', plus NA being far more front loaded than 'Others'.

SSBB first week will be around 3M WW.
