Yeah those Euro. sales seem low.
Although if they are correct, I'm not complaining... that's a pretty nice launch.

Just going to point out when it at least comes to Ireland and stores in this area there was little to no copies of this game available at the retailers. Myself and some friends had to get it digitally because there was just 2 copies in the main gamestop here, in a town of over 30k people where that is the main game shop.... just terrible amount of copies of the game on offer I think. Should be pointed out that the same game stop is now asking 55euros for copies of the game, which was 40 at launch, gg profiteering from people who can't get online gamestop.

It must have sold more in Europe. A third of its US sales? I don't think so.

VGchartz has been quite late with their sales figures. I don´t think that the sales numbers are that accurate.

It seems that our European fellows are waiting for the WiiU version of the game

I somehow think that the western world is waiting for the Super Smash Bros for Wii U to launch. The 3DS version is a okay game to play, but with that circle pad I can´t really move the way I want to.

The numbers will keep dramatically increasing up until the Wii U version comes out.. then hopefully we'll see some awesome legs for Smash U in the upcoming months. Hitting it home within a few months and more of long-term sales is all Nintendo was and is about.
