SSBB took just 11 days to officially sell 1 million units in Japan.

It took Wii Fit 49 days and Wii Sports 77 days to eclipse 1 million units sold.

Brawl is going to tear shit up once it hit the U.S. market.

[koten]

They better have at least three million copys to move when it hits the US.

I have yet to see a Wii sitting at my local Wal-mart. Something tells me I'm going to have to buy the console and Brawl online...

They better have 3 million wiis when it hits. damn

[Gummy]

Yay for wii owners...

ahem.

=]

I should reserve a copy... shit.

[HolyPaladin]

Not too shabby. Can't wait to see the sales figures when it hits other territories.

Viper, since you are the lord of numbers, would you mind letting us know what Smash Bros (n64) and Melee were selling around launch.

[SuperLuigiBros]

^And how many to date would be nice. Especially Melee.

Smash 64 sales are likely to be less accurate but they'll offer some guideline.

wow Smash GC and Smash Wii in Japan are much closer than what I was expecting

[bobo_ess]

Brawl has a much better launch though, brawl might hit 10m in total sales

[nayrk]

Oh I think thats a big factor, I just remember when Melee was coming out (or Smash 64 for that matter). Me and my friends were frothing at the mouth to get these titles. We debated for weeks upon months on end about the games post and pre launch.

I guess all in all I'm still surprised at how fast the Wii and [Nintendo] software just flies off the shelves.

[bobo_ess]

they were showing it off alot on the net

[Viper]

SSBB will hit 8+ million lifetime sales. This is Wii's Halo 3.

[OmniCloud]

Good for Ninty...back on top!!

More Smash bros. less Dragon quest spin-offs tho man;) I wonder what the Wii Zelda will be like?!

I may not be interested in a lot of Wii games, but I will say, the ones that I want, are indeed must-play experiences!

[Viper]

I wonder what the Wii Zelda will be like?!

Miyamoto and Aonuma both stated Twilight Princess was the tip of the Wii iceberg and that the new one will blow people away like Galaxy did.

[koten]

So I take it they aren't making a direct sequal to Twilight Princess?

[SuperLuigiBros]

I want another Cel shaded Zelda on a console. Wind Waker's graphics were flippin' sweet.

[Gummy]

so a baby-like Link then or just the cel-shade part?
I actually never played wind wank yet

[koten]

FOOL! Go play it, NOW!

[Mr. Coww]

Id be willing to bet money on Wind Waker Link being the most badass of all the Links, $20 infact.
Anyway seeing the hype around SSBB in the states any one want to guess a first day sell though number? Or even the first week, i mean we dont have much else to do but play melee and wait for the next week do we?
Wait does suck...
