Forums - Sales Discussion - Technically, Brawl beat Halo 3's first day sales.

If i'm not mistaken, Halo3 debuted first day with 1.7 million. It launched in Others, Japan, and America all on Sept. 25. Brawl launched 1st day with 1.25 mil in America and .5 mil in Japan. That would put it at 1.75 mill right? If you add in Europe sales, which will most likely be above 500,000 1st day, Brawl has the biggest 1st day debut of any game in history!



Damn things have changed since 2009 began. Here are my new visions for the end of the generation.

 

Wii: 135 mil

Ps3: 85 mil

360: 60 mil

1.7 Million was USA only

 No there are games that sold more than halo 3. It is the weekly sales that halo 3 got it's record for.



According to a lot of reports. (including Nintendo, if I'm not mistaken), brawl's first day was 800k in NA.

also.

1.7 million is pre-order ONLY.. it took in 170 million first day... divide that by average Halo 3 price and find out exactly.

Technically, you misread a lot of information.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

@sc

yes but in terms of ONLY This gen games

Halo 3 has the highest opening



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

You know i'm talking about 1st day sales right?


Also, if Halo did strike only 1.7 in America alone, it could still be beat by Brawl ww because of Japan. Halo 3 launched with about 65,000 1st week there while brawl launched with 500,000 1st day there.

Europe could determine it. Considering the hype for Brawl in Europe has been rising because of the dumb delays Nintendo keep pushing apparently.

Brawl would have to launch with just 700,000 1st day right?


(correct me if i'm wrong.)

700,000 1st day may not seem impossible considering Brawl has a bigger userbase than the Cube and N64 in Others. Also, Nintendo just has to do the same marketing campaign they did in America.

(again, your thoughts are welcome.)

http://www.joystiq.com/2008/03/17/smash-bros-brawl-sells-record-breaking-1-4-million-first-week-i/

Nintendo's brawler Super Smash Bros. Brawl has smashed records with its US release. According to a press release from Nintendo of America, the game has sold over 1.4 million in the region, with 874,000 of those sales on its March 9 release date.

time to recalculate all your stuff.

ok, king of wales, you could have said it a little nicer at the end.


Well, what in the world happened when ioi came and told us that Brawl struck 1.25 mil on 1st day?
