The previous record holder was Halo 3, which sold 3.3M in Sept. 2007 in the U.S. It is worth pointing out that Halo 3 was available for only 12 days of the Sept. '07 sales period, whereas Smash was available for 30 days of the Dec. '18 sales period. However, Halo 3's sales were 100% physical or close to it (did the 360 even have a digital option for AAA games back then?), and within its first 40 days (the last 12 days of the Sept. sales period and all 28 days of the Oct. sales period) had sold about 3.73M, only 141k more copies than Smash sold in 30 days. So, Smash still may have sold slightly faster than Halo 3 over the first few weeks even though it appears that Halo 3 may have done more in its first week.

Kinda makes me wish that U.S. sales had an official weekly tracker like they do in Japan, that way we could get more granular sales results. Maybe one day Media Create will open a U.S. branch. A man can hope.

Are those supposed to be more accurate figures someone posted? I didn't see them at ERA. Last I heard it was 800k for the PS4 and 920k for the XBO.

PS4 won 8/12 months. That isn't almost all

lol

Last year January was 5 weeks, this year its 4 so the weekly average can be up alot but still only result in a small overall increase.

Excellent year, over 15 million sold between the 3 of them

Sure tho.

Do you know the global yearly sales for all?
