Forums - Sales - What SSBB needs to do to hit 10 million.

Im thinking that in order for Super Smash Bros. Brawl to sell 10 million it will need to sell 6 million in the Americas,as i dont think it will be able to sell more then 2 million in Others and 2 million in Japan.

Anyone think this is possible?I think this has a shot to do it,but im not sure it will happen anytime before the end of 2009.

It will pass 10 million sales I believe in 2010. Games have a fast start and they drop off over time. I believe SSBB will reach 10 million. Mk Wii will sell over 12 million copies due to its popularity. SMG has a good chance of reaching 10 million sales as well.



10M is possible in my mind if 2 things happen:
1) Wii userbase in excess of 100 M (should happen)
2) SSBB gets put on a "players choice" list, and is sold for $29.99 (could happen, but will take a while knowing Nintendo)

With these 2 I believe SSBB will sell 10M+ (after 2009).



Remember SSBM was GC's best seller. SSBB is yet to pass SSBM, but will do so in some months. The game will still sell until the end of the gen and even into the next one. 10 million IS possible and probable.

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.

 I agree,i believe that a players choice will help it alot,but i dont see it coming anytime before 2010(look at TP it has been out for nearly two years and isnt selling much,yet they havent said anything about a layers Choice).

i dont think it will but you never know



As long as the userbase expands, quality software will be in high demand.
So Wii sales= help SSBB sales

 Wii: 80-85 Million end of 2009 (1.1.09)

 I think the chances right now are 60/40 in favor of it happening,but it will need to get a players choice release,that will help it out to reach 10 million sooner(like izaaz101 stated)

It should have ~ 700K more sales up untill mid November

That should leave it at ~ 7.3M

Looking at least year's December in America, I'd say that it could make 500K there for 2nd half Nov + December

It could sell ~ 300K in Others + Japan for the holiday season. So I believe that Brawl will have around 8M by the start of 09


Selling 2M more after that seems tough though. I'm not going to predict on that yet.

PS: I don't believe Brawl will make 2M in Others.

That is VGChartz LONGEST review. And it's NOT Cute Kitten DS

SSBB is one of those "must have" title for all ages. 10M is inevitable.
