As for Italy and Spain, there is a confliction of brands. Both the Playstation and Nintendo brand are huge. However I'm going to have to go with the brand that is still increasing in appeal, that being the Nintendo brand. While it can only go up, on the opposite the Playstion one can only go down, which it has. Not to mention Wii Fit seems to be pretty big in those respective areas. However you really never know down the line as brand appeal changes all the time.

I understand you're using 2 days as a gauge with the rest of the world, but games launch in Japan on fridays, and the week is over on Sunday, and SSBB sold 850k in Japan in it's launch week in those few days.

 

Ah, but look at MK:Wii which is considered a success in others. Compare it's first two weeks to MGS4's first two weeks, and Brawl's first week.

So, next week we'll know which path Brawl took, for sure.


Either way, if Brawl pulls off some MvS legs it could still be an epic win. We won't know for a few weeks though, imo.

Not to take away from the Wii's success, but it's still the PS3 that is amazing me these days. This is supposed to be a tertiary system, and by historical standards should be slowing down; instead, it's selling nearly ninety thousand units per week in a single territory!

Again, no question that the Wii is dominant, but the PS3 has carved out its own space too.

@Bod: Of course, after getting it's biggest exclusive this year it should be considered normal sales rather than amazing sales.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

@ Trestres

So what about before MGS4 launched? Why was it selling 90k/week then?

:/

I hope not. it had 400k, I think that's a low first week, compare to other regions.
