Awesome! 11 millions! And now that it's gonna be a Nintendo Select, I hope it sells at least a million more through the rest of Wii's remaining life :)
fedfed (on 14 May 2012)

Kai Master (on 14 January 2012)

Metroid33slayer (on 10 January 2012)

killeryoshis (on 06 July 2011)

Smeags (on 01 June 2011)

newwil7l (on 02 February 2011)
better than melle love my 2nd fav game for wii
cromeros (on 22 January 2011)
+10 million copies.... OMG!... The best selling Fighting game in history...
spurgeonryan (on 07 January 2011)
And thats why nintendo doesn't have a gamers choice or platinum hits for now. Because their games sell so much that 10 million copies is 500,000,000 dollars! So I wonder what all those 20-30 million copied games are bringing them!!!!
Fededx (on 05 January 2011)
Truly impressive!
bigjon (on 01 January 2011)
10.5 to 11 million should be its final destination... very very nice

YESSSSS
Arius Dion (on 27 December 2010)
The only fighting game to ever acheive this. Incredible..And well deserved. My favorite Multiplayer game this gen, and maybe ever.
I like Bacon (on 24 December 2010)
Everyone forgets that it rounds up! the sales are at 9.96 million, so next week it'll be at 10 million.
Galvanizer (on 24 December 2010)
I hope there more third party characters in the next one.
Majin-Tenshinhan (on 24 December 2010)
THANK GOD! WOHOOO!
Mad55 (on 24 December 2010)

TheConduit (on 24 December 2010)

bigjon (on 24 December 2010)

supermariouniverse (on 24 December 2010)
10.00m...about time! Also the first Wii game to sell 10m without the word "Wii" in the title haha
spurgeonryan (on 23 December 2010)
and there we have it! Should have bought Wii stock! Damn.
spurgeonryan (on 23 December 2010)
Much better for Japan! This has it in the bag this week. WooHoo!
spurgeonryan (on 22 December 2010)
CAn Japans 500-1000 and americas whatever push it passed this week? stay tuned to find out.
Nintendogamer (on 17 December 2010)
10M soon, will be the 8th game to sell 10M+ on Wii.
Fededx (on 17 December 2010)
10 million seller next week :)
spurgeonryan (on 14 December 2010)
Darn! I dont think Japan and America can get it there this week. These sales came on a monday for emeaa??? Crazy
Immortal (on 12 December 2010)
Its sales really don't do justice to its awesomeness. To 10 million and beyond, :D!
ljlrj (on 10 December 2010)
ALMOST TO 10 MILL
ljlrj (on 10 December 2010)
ALMOST TO 10 MILL
KillerJawz (on 10 December 2010)
A tad optimistic on your part oniyide. Nintendo are too busy pumping the money into things like Wii Fit Plus Plus.
pacman91 (on 09 December 2010)
fail on my part...
pacman91 (on 09 December 2010)
mario kart
oniyide (on 08 December 2010)
id wish they take some of that money and fix there god awful laggy online, then the game would be almost perfect
hallowedbeeddie (on 02 December 2010)
getting so close to the diamond mark :)
Metallicube (on 27 November 2010)
Ooh, looks like we have another 10 million seller in the making. Very fun game to this day. I play it with my younger cousins every time they come over, they really get a kick out of it.
Chrizum (on 27 November 2010)
Definitely. Probably 10.07 million on january 1st
spurgeonryan (on 26 November 2010)
I think it will!
TruckOSaurus (on 17 November 2010)
10 million seller at the end of the year?
Salem (on 14 November 2010)
Man i love this game, go team kirby!
IxisNaugus (on 05 November 2010)
This game has been doing very well recently. Over 30,000 units sold this week worldwide according to VGC. Crazy! Looks like this will be reaching 10 million a bit sooner than I first anticipated.
DavidValbu (on 01 November 2010)
Can't believe this game is going to reach the 10 million mark. Time for celebration when it will happen this holiday season I guess. We are going to have Smash Bros for many years.
spurgeonryan (on 29 October 2010)
Just bought this game for the kids and they play it non-stop!
dark_gh0st_b0y (on 02 May 2010)
playing this game since 2008, and still unlocking things :P

heading to 10m!
IxisNaugus (on 28 April 2010)
This was just released in Korea.
tio_coyote (on 26 April 2010)
I think that hal needs to release more wii games!
a new kirby pls!!
IxisNaugus (on 25 April 2010)
Ludicrous amounts of content. Numerous tasks, game modes, challenges and a breathtaking amount of collectables. Addicting and peerless gameplay. Wonderful cast of ageless individual characters that have grabbed the attention of pretty much all gamers out there. Unparalleled musical score. Limitless replay value.

What a game.
Khuutra (on 25 April 2010)
Not too much longer before ten million, now...
Salnax (on 13 April 2010)
Imagine if sometime this holiday season, the game reached 9.97 million and VGChartz decided to stop tracking it for some reason.
Smeags (on 09 April 2010)
Hey, as a Sonic fan, its either recognizing this or Mario & Sonic as Sonic's most successful game. I'm definitely choosing this one. :-P
--OkeyDokey-- (on 08 April 2010)
LMAO, Smeags
Arius Dion (on 04 April 2010)
Best MP game this gen.
Twista (on 02 April 2010)
gogogo 10 million!
Smeags (on 30 March 2010)
So... Sonic and Snake's most successful game is on a Nintendo console? Crazy times indeed. :-D
Son1x (on 06 March 2010)
I'd take Brawl over Melee anytime. Even if you think normal Brawl is unbalanced/bad, just go for Brawl+.
killeryoshis (on 28 February 2010)
This game is going to get to 10 million :D
Signalstar (on 26 February 2010)
Man this game is still a blast!
I like Bacon (on 18 February 2010)
To me, age is never an excuse. If it's fun, you play it. I will be playing games until I die! :D
Majin-Tenshinhan (on 12 February 2010)
I reiterate, it's too bad you didn't enjoy it as much as some others of us did. As for age, I guess it depends. Personally, I'm 21 and I enjoyed it fully. But then again, I'm kind of a slacker, so yeah.
KingHenry (on 11 February 2010)
@Majin-Tenshinhan
I read your comment, and you're completely entitled to your own opinion, as am I. I know my opinion is biased, and there could be other factors for why I don't like this game. The main one being age. I'm a lot older now (22 if you're curious), and I did spend lots of time playing melee, and had massive fun playing it with friends (at competitions too). I don't feel like i can just sit around for hours on end playing a game anymore, but from the hours that i did play it, I didn't enjoy it as much as melee. It had amazing reviews and did sell over 9 million units, so it can't be that bad, haha.

Also, I know it sold more than SSBM, but th wii has almost 3 times the install base as gamecube, and SSBM did sell 7 million units. I can argue that SSBM has a much higher attach rate than SSBB, and conclude that SSBM is better than SSBB. I know that isn't a valid way to judge the two games and I'm not judging them like that; it was only for the fake of the argument. This message is getting very long so I'm stopping.
Arius Dion (on 10 February 2010)
I'm with Majin..I still get excited to play this game. Its going to be the only fighting game to ever hit 10m units on a single platform!
Majin-Tenshinhan (on 05 February 2010)
@KingHenry

Yes, the game [i]was[/i] that good. There's a reason it's outsold the previous iteration.

Thing is, this game is actually balanced, contrary to Melee. Another thing with Brawl is that, in Melee, I could play maybe 3 characters without being annoyed, if I randomed and got anyone else than those 3 I would groan because they were so goddamned boring to play.

In Brawl, that's not the case at all. The only character I groan if I get is R.O.B.

It's too bad you weren't impressed with the game, but to me, and a lot of people, this has been the best game of the generation.
KingHenry (on 02 February 2010)
Why is this lame game back on the top searched list. I know they put a lot of effort into this game, but was it really that good? The presentation of this game is wonderful, top notch. The game play... Not so much. They improved the single player mode (made it long, added co-op, blah blah), but did people play the previous games for the single player? Obviously not. It was because of the multiplayer, something that they unimproved (in my opinion). Yeah i know SSBM had glitches and unbalanced characters, but those glitches made the game fast pace and fun.
dark_gh0st_b0y (on 02 February 2010)
please announce a surprise SSBB2 at E3 like you did with SMG2 : P

LoL, i can dream....
c0rd (on 22 January 2010)
I predict it hits 10mil on Jan 2011.
Majin-Tenshinhan (on 04 January 2010)
Hoping this doesn't get adjusted down. Great sales for a beyond great game.
aoixgp (on 26 December 2009)
I had high expectations for this game and it exceeded them. Many, many hours of fun.
SaviorX (on 24 December 2009)
9 milly 9 milly 9 milly 9 milly......

@Khuutra
In order to sell 10 million before the end of 2010, it has to average 18k a week. It won't manage it throughout the year but may make ground during next year's holidays.
supermariouniverse (on 24 December 2009)
yes nine million! and 5 million for US
Khuutra (on 24 December 2009)
I wonder if it will be able to break 10 million before the end of 2010
marcianito (on 24 December 2009)
finally 9
Aidman (on 24 December 2009)
Congractulations 9 BABIES.
Alex_The_Hedgehog (on 24 December 2009)
9 million!
Majin-Tenshinhan (on 24 December 2009)
And 9 million is here. Hooray!
Arius Dion (on 23 December 2009)
@Tryffel...what?
SmokedHostage (on 22 December 2009)
Wow, I haven't noticed but so close to 9 million.
tryffel8 (on 18 December 2009)
but the sales arent that good that o thouht it would be with sutch a large userbase. I wonder why mario kart wii is keep selling forever and this is not?

atma998 (on 17 December 2009)
adjusted down :(
Arius Dion (on 13 December 2009)
Over 9m before the year is over 10m just around the corner. Deserving of every sale. My favorite MP game this gen.
SaviorX (on 12 December 2009)
8,999,825.
C'mon, give it the 9 milly! I've seen games rounded up that were 6k away from the next mark.
kopstudent89 (on 12 December 2009)
woot EU finally gives this game some attention! 9 millioooon!
palancas7 (on 12 December 2009)
Promotion maybe?
It was £9.99 @ amazon.co.uk for a short while.
supermariouniverse (on 12 December 2009)
yes nine million next week! Does anyone know what caused the huge spike in Others???
Alex_The_Hedgehog (on 12 December 2009)
9 million next week! :D
Majin-Tenshinhan (on 12 December 2009)
yeees, on the edge to 9 million :D
dark_gh0st_b0y (on 12 December 2009)
SSB was never that popular in Europe, because of GC

SSB is now making more and more fans in Europe
Son1x (on 09 December 2009)
Others reached 2m, nice :-)
Majin-Tenshinhan (on 21 November 2009)
Europe/Others has this at around 27k a week for the last few weeks. Looks like the sales in Others will keep rising for quite a while. Nice to see this fantastic title still on the rise - Pretty much guaranteed to have passed 9 million by the end of the year, with holiday boosts and all. And over 10 million lifetime is very probable as well.
dark_gh0st_b0y (on 20 November 2009)
well, this price is still high for a 2 year old game

Nintendo must be getting a lot out of it + it will be 10 million seller + people still play it cause it's one of the best Wii games!
GianCarmen (on 18 November 2009)
Nintendo needs to drop the price down to 29.99. Sales would explode even further.
c0rd (on 16 November 2009)
Europe/Others is really carrying this title now, I'm surprised. The last few weeks SSBB has been seeing about 75% of its sales from the region.
Majin-Tenshinhan (on 13 November 2009)
I think it might be more people buying Wii, I haven't heard or seen anything about a price cuit.
spurgeonryan (on 06 November 2009)
Did it get a price cut or something? Or are hardcore gamers buying the wii now that it is cheaper?
Aidman (on 06 November 2009)
SSBBrawl deserves to hit 10 Millions wish it will do it.
TheConduit (on 06 November 2009)
Wonder if the Christmas Boost can push this game over 9 million.

I predict lifetime sales of 10.5 million
guiduc (on 03 November 2009)
This is an excellent game. It's the best Smash Bros and I'm glad they're still improving so much their franchises...
supermariouniverse (on 25 October 2009)
wow, nice boost this week!

10 million is a piece of cake now :D
Declan (on 24 October 2009)
Amazon UK are currently selling this for £10, which is why I've just picked it up.
I like Bacon (on 23 October 2009)
Wow! The game is back in the top 50! It's been a few months!
TheConduit (on 21 October 2009)
Wonder if new Super Mario Bros can beat this opening
GianCarmen (on 17 October 2009)
Can you imagine if Nintendo dropped the price on Smash and Galaxy and even Mario Kart to 30 dollars. Nintendo really needs a player's choice.
Intendo21 (on 14 October 2009)
This game makes me want to play every hardcore franshise for Nintendo. Like Earthbound which I have never played before.
zaMy (on 12 October 2009)
these types of games are always my favourite on nintendo consoles :)

they should make one for DS, although i dont really know how that would turn out.
haxxiy (on 06 October 2009)
Alright, after having played through all of it, I had to say SSBB fell a lot from my expectations. The enormous variety of musics, the story mode and events are worth it, but that's all. Guess fighting games just aren't my shit.
7/10
TGM (on 28 September 2009)
This is the BEST samus player in the world right now. AMAZING!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JeWbuRhaao
spurgeonryan (on 26 September 2009)
Yeah with a price cut, gamers choice addition it would sell like other's systems games have been selling, hopefull this christmas we will see some games get a much needed cut, and beefed up sales to compete with other systems so called big seller, which have been bundled and price cut and whatever else you can think of to get them that high.
jessegatepoo (on 12 September 2009)
If you don't have this game get it know.
jessegatepoo (on 12 September 2009)
This would be my favourite game if the online was up to scratch. But the Mario Kart Wii becomes my fav because of it fantastic online.
That just shows the power of online.
TheConduit (on 06 September 2009)
Hope this becomes the first Fighting game to pass 10million
--OkeyDokey-- (on 03 September 2009)
Could have had another million sales in Others if it weren't for the stupid delay. Hopefully this will be the last big game to have a staggered release.
OmegaRugalv3 (on 21 August 2009)
Nintendo ... though they are my favorite developer overall ... are cheap bastards. Zelda TP is STILL 50 bucks while newer games like Street Fighter 4 are 20 bucks now.

With that said ... their games are still selling even at full price so ... until these games are almost dead on the weekly chartz, there is no real need for them to drop the price.
Omega_Phazon_Pirate. (on 14 August 2009)
@ YessWiiCan, you're saying they should price cut it just to push it to 10M?
haxxiy (on 14 August 2009)
Just bought it, played story mode until I found Yoshi and Link :)
YesWiiCan (on 13 August 2009)
Nintendo should price cut Super Smash Bros. Brawl to at least 39.99 or lower so it could reach 10 million. I mean they all right make lots of money on the game.
gandenkris (on 11 July 2009)
Such a good game
Wii_Master (on 10 July 2009)
by christmas it should get to atleast 9.5million if not 10m
SaviorX (on 03 July 2009)
I wouldn't worry about Smash hitting 10m.

It is one of those games that will be boosted in sales during the holidays and sell a decent amount every week until the end of the Wii's life. It has a good 3 years ahead of it.
SJGohan3972 (on 30 June 2009)
8.5million - hopefully this game eventually gets to 10million it really deserves it.
I like Bacon (on 27 June 2009)
@Ash, because they have enough data to last over a century most likely.
Majin-Tenshinhan (on 27 June 2009)
It deserves every single sale.
dark_gh0st_b0y (on 26 June 2009)
ok, now heading to 9m!

and after next christmas this will be heading to 10m

GO SSBB!!!
ash3336 (on 18 June 2009)
Why did they cancel it in the first place?
I like Bacon (on 14 June 2009)
Did anyone really use the service that often? The only difference is that we won't be able to submit pics, replays and stages to Nintendo. That's it. We can still send stuff to our friends. Nintendo has enough content probably to last centuries.
MasterZack (on 06 June 2009)
Farewell SSBB service!!!
SuperSmashGuy (on 05 June 2009)
The DS isn't more powerful than the N64. They just use different methods to make character models look better... Sometimes better.. Everything looks pixelated on the DS when it's 3D.
Phoenix_Wiight (on 05 June 2009)
ya, i'm actually really surprised that there hasnt been a DS one yet. i want it!
scottie (on 01 June 2009)
It is certainly possible. The DS his more powerful than the N64, has more storage space, so it can handle it graphically.

It also has better controls for smash bros than the wiimote on its side.

It wouldn't be as good as brawl obviously, but still great
SJGohan3972 (on 28 May 2009)
@killeryoshis, I'm pretty sure that's not going to happen, don't get me wrong I would LOVE a Smash Bros Portable - but I don't see Nintendo making one (or how they could).
killeryoshis (on 24 May 2009)
I can't wait for one on the DS :-D
__XBrawlX__ (on 23 May 2009)
Page looks much cooler now! :)
Trent (on 04 May 2009)
Woo Almost 2 mil in Japan
naruto3336 (on 28 April 2009)
Wht i meant to say is that I like brawl better than Melee. ;)
PeteyPeeps (on 24 April 2009)
SONIC PWNS
Paperdiego (on 24 April 2009)
wow didnt realize how much this game has sold..

Chrizum (on 22 April 2009)
This one is definitely overtracked in Japan. Famitsu says it only sold 1.79m (overtracked by at leas 150k!).

http://news.vgchartz.com/news.php?id=3464
Majin-Tenshinhan (on 18 April 2009)
This is definitely my game of the gen so far ... Was so hyped for this and it delivered fully for me. Can't wait until I can get hyped for the next Smash Bros. :)
shizzlee (on 18 April 2009)
This game is so addicting :/ I love Mario, yippie.
Vas-y (on 17 April 2009)
Brawl has that kind of magic... but Brawl doesn't.
--OkeyDokey-- (on 12 April 2009)
@ naruto
I like Brawl better than Brawl too.
naruto3336 (on 11 April 2009)
Personally like it better than brawl.
supermario128 (on 11 April 2009)
8.5 million! :-)
sonicshuffle (on 07 April 2009)
Fun game.
TruckOSaurus (on 07 April 2009)
@Skeeuk: Every fighter is a button masher if you don't take the time to learn how to play.
Skeeuk (on 06 April 2009)
i so wanted to like this game it was my first experiance of smash bros..........but all it was was a button masher with poor control, i wish i had a gamecube controller still
Trent (on 04 April 2009)
Great game i just beat Adventure Mode Tabuu was annoying
SaviorX (on 04 April 2009)
10 million will be a great day.
--OkeyDokey-- (on 03 April 2009)
Was this adjusted down at some point?
I remember it being only 600k behind Halo 3, now the gap is nearly a million.
Wetcoaster (on 01 April 2009)
Should break the 8.5 million mark this week. =D
TGM (on 26 March 2009)
All i care about is for this game to reach 10mil in its life time.
dark_gh0st_b0y (on 23 March 2009)
still selling 10k per week in Europe, Smash is really huge on Wii!! : )
CONMAN15 (on 21 March 2009)
Love this game so much. Wonder how far it will go. 12 million LTD?
SciFiBoy (on 11 March 2009)
just started playing online, its very good fun
Majin-Tenshinhan (on 06 March 2009)
Yeah, I can imagine it selling maybe 500k more at a simultaneous worldwide release... 500k tops. Online might boost it more, but I dunno. I don't really care about online, and I'm sure there are a lot of others that don't either.
killeryoshis (on 05 March 2009)
Mine Broke......:(
MontanaHatchet (on 05 March 2009)
Even with an additional 2-3 million units, it would be nowhere close to Mario Kart. The only way I could see a simultaneous worldwide release boosting sales anyways is that the game would have sold more in the PAL region. But 2-3 million more? Pretty unlikely.
Chrizum (on 05 March 2009)
I said better online [b]and[/b] simultaneous worldwide release. I'm pretty sure if those 2 thing happened, Brawl would have sold about 2-3 million additional units.
Majin-Tenshinhan (on 05 March 2009)
Even if the online in Brawl was superb, it still wouldn't stand a chance against Mario Kart Wii. Sorry to say it, but it's true. Regardless, Brawl has seen and continues to see spectacular sales, so there's really no reason to complain.
Thechalkblock (on 05 March 2009)
Most people don't play this game for an online experience, they play it with friends locally.
MontanaHatchet (on 04 March 2009)
Wii Fit doesn't have online at all, so why is it selling more than Mario Kart or Brawl? It simply comes down to appeal.
Chrizum (on 04 March 2009)
Oh Montana, I'm sure. This game suffered from weak online, Mario Kart has excellent online which is one of the reasons its legs are better.

It's already the best selling game in the series in PAL by far. And does anyone really believe it would have sold close to Mario Kart? I'm laughing right now, I really am.
SmokedHostage (on 03 March 2009)
Wonderful Game. I don't play it nearly as much I thought I would but as a whole package, I love it. Great for short bursts.

Probably would like it more if it wasn't hyped like the second coming of Jesus Christ.
Chrizum (on 02 March 2009)
A simultanous worldwide release and better online and this game would have sold close to Mario Kart Wii. Nintendo dropped the ball, but it's still selling extremely well.
coonana (on 27 February 2009)
So true Nintendo was so stupid for not giving this a worldwide release. It would have sold much more in each region. Well this mostly hurts Nintendo.
Majin-Tenshinhan (on 16 February 2009)
Well, that's what happens when it gets released like 4 months later in Europe.
Peterisyum (on 16 February 2009)
what the hell was up with the european launch. Those numbers allmost make me cry.

yes, both halo 3 and ssbb have 'great legs'. but who cares about the labels? they will consistently sell through their respected console's life cycle, thats whats important. if we are to compare games against only the top seller, everything would be a 'failure' compared to wii fit anyway lol

@ smashchu

In case you didn't notice, Halo 3 is in the WW top 50 this week only a few places below SSBB. If Halo 3 "dropped off the charts" like you say then I guess Brawl did too.

Face it, both games have legs, but you're probably too embarrassed by now to admit that fact.
Smashchu2 (on 03 February 2009)
@--OkeyDokey--

I love how I must be stupid because you disagree.

The problem is that people come here and start saying that Halo 3 has good legs too. Brawl has legs because it stayed on the sales charts for a long time. Mario Kart has great legs because it stayed on the sales chart. Halo 3 sold ~50% of it's sales in the first 5 weeks and dropped off at week 35. It's only good legs when compared to other Next generation games.

Game B has bad legs because game B has bad legs. People are reluctant to admit that it is a bad example of legs. Brawl beat Halo out in number of weeks and sales per week. Halo is a best selling game because it sold most of it's units in the first 5 weeks. It's not a good example of legs, and why it was brought up, I will never know.

If it would be dumb to say "Brawl has good legs" in the Mario Kart page, then why do the same here with Halo?
naruto3336 (on 01 February 2009)
They overtracked the first week and it took them a year to figure that out??
--OkeyDokey-- (on 28 January 2009)
@ smashchu

Did someone drop you on your head when you were a baby?

Okay, I guess Smash Bros. has bad legs too because Mario Kart Wii has nearly doubled it's sales despite a later release date and a smaller opening.

Just because game A has better legs than game B doesn't mean game B has no legs at all. I can't believe I'm actually having this argument.
mjk45 (on 27 January 2009)
like alot of wii games the good games keep selling because there isnt a great library of games for people who se themselves as gamers
OmegaRugalv3 (on 27 January 2009)
Smash will pass Halo 3 without question.

Anyone that doesn't see that is blind.
Majin-Tenshinhan (on 26 January 2009)
8,5 mil! Yeah!
Smashchu2 (on 25 January 2009)
"@ smashchu

Halo 3 has been out nearly twice as long as this game and it only sold 6k less in America last week.

The only reason Brawl is even close to Halo right now is because it sells in Japan.

Both games have strong legs regardles"

If it has been out longer then Smash, shouldn't it not about to be taken over. In terms of sales, it fell off.

People quote Halo having great legs without a real reason why it is. It sold for 35 weeks (barely) and then dropped off. Brawl continues to sell and it came out in March, not September. The 35 weeks and good sales over 10 weeks or so is due to the time of year. Brawl is preforming better despite being release in March.

The fact that "Halo does not sell in Japan" is an excuse. It a problem with the game if it can't move in Japan. Some will say "The XBox doesn't move in Japan" but it shows that something is wrong with the title if the game failed to push systems. Basically, there is no interest.

Additionally, I have problems with people quoting good legs because it stays in the American charts. It's nice, but one region is not a good reason for it having legs, or even being able to compare to Brawl which is showing it has legs. Halo also struggles in the US charts.
Onimusha12 (on 24 January 2009)
SSBB > Halo 3
Cheebee (on 20 January 2009)
Whoa, at first I wasn't sure this game would reach 10 million, but now I'm quite positive! :)

Arius Dion (on 20 January 2009)
Okey, I look at it like this; Halo 3 has been out a year longer and is only around 50,000 copies ahead of Brawl.

Both games have strong legs regardless.

cheers tangen.

brawl is certainly a good game. i fond online to hard though, mabey il just stick to 1 char and gets used to moves.
Majin-Tenshinhan (on 18 January 2009)
Yeah, a lot of the songs have to be unlocked. Enjoy :)
Skeeuk (on 18 January 2009)
i have the game now and was looking forward to the 200+ audio soundtracks in option like review said? do u unlock them as u go?

OMG a wall of text!
Smashchu2 (on 17 January 2009)
@MontanaHatchet: First, not sure where the argument came from, so I am a little in the dark.'

Again, it depends on what we are going to call legs. Let's take these two games. You claim both have strong legs, but on is about to overtake another due to legs. With this in mind, it may be questionable to say Halo 3 has great legs. If it did, why is it not slowing so much? Why is Smash Brothers about to overtake it? The titles we attribute to legs have stayed on the charts for 40, 60, even 100 weeks. 35 is a little weak in comparison. Brawl has legs because it is staying in the charts. Halo 3 struggled to keep head above water.

You could say that Halo 3 has legs by a simple definition. I would be wary. It didn't stay to long and 50-60% of it;s total sales were in the first few weeks. Titles with legs don't because they make their sale in long term, not short term. Brawl has stayed strong and has stayed longer. Halo 3 came with a strong burst and tried to keep up. In this sense, I would say Brawl had(has) legs and Halo 3 did not. Truthfully, I would definably not say Halo 3 had great legs. It really didn't.


"Viva Pinata had an incredibly low launch but ended up as a million seller, whereas Halo 3 saw the majority of its sales in the first few weeks. However, Halo 3 still sells more every week. Which has better legs? I could claim that Brawl has next to no legs because its sales were beaten by Carnival Games some weeks."

This is really grasping at straws and misses the point. Legs are about long term sales. If Carnival Games beat Mario kart Wii one week, it does not mean Carnival Games has better legs. No. Try to say that would be stupid. Brawl would have better legs then Carnival despite Carnival Games beat it every so often. It's about long term sales. The ranking shows how strong they are. I attribute Halo 3 to having weaker legs because it barely qualified. It was in the lower reaches and barely held on for as long as it did. Brawl has sold longer and has hovered around 20-30. This would show legs. Looking at the week by week rankings between two games would be wrong. The ranking is an after thought. The time is what matter most. (Note how you can say they both have legs because Halo 3 made 35 weeks while I say they were weak because it was in the lower reaches, sometime just barely making 50). Hope I made some king of sense.

Also, sorry to take so long with replying. Just didn't get around to it.
metalmonstar (on 14 January 2009)
This game got a lot of pre launch hype. However it didn't keep it up much after the US launch.

It should reach 10 mil sometime in 2009
dark_gh0st_b0y (on 14 January 2009)
WoW!! It's revived from the holidays, not that it was dead, but now it will reach 10 million faster!

and no, the game was underhyped!
we all new it would sell 5 million but it's gonna reach 10 million!
Foote (on 12 January 2009)
Over hyped, imo. It's a good sequel but it gets really boring after a while. I can't play 2 matches without getting tired of playing it.
Omega_Phazon_Pirate. (on 11 January 2009)
Halo and Brawl both have legs...

*end debate* :P
dark_gh0st_b0y (on 11 January 2009)
it's so great to see sequels selling better than the original, Super Smash franchise is expanding!
FaRmLaNd (on 10 January 2009)
lol halo doesn't have legs? Give me a break
MontanaHatchet (on 10 January 2009)
Smashchu2, you are missing the point completely and I feel like I'm arguing with PR. I'm not comparing the size of the legs, but I'm saying that both titles can sell long term. Halo 2 was at #35 in the American charts 3 years after its launch the week Halo 3 launched, and even a quick look at the charts could tell you that it was in the Top 50 for a while after its launch. Halo 3 is seeing tremendous growth over its predecessor and its legs are even more impressive. I don't feel like talking about Halo 3 on a page about Brawl, but I don't like comments that are just...incorrect.

Viva Pinata had an incredibly low launch but ended up as a million seller, whereas Halo 3 saw the majority of its sales in the first few weeks. However, Halo 3 still sells more every week. Which has better legs? I could claim that Brawl has next to no legs because its sales were beaten by Carnival Games some weeks.

Nevermind. Both games are selling well and have great legs.
Smashchu2 (on 09 January 2009)
Sorry to double post, but I guess you could say it has legs, but it would depend on what we define as legs. Halo is doing worse then Brawl and Brawl will probably outsell Halo 3.

I would be over excited about Halo's legs. It struggled to stay up for quite some time. Also remember that halo was released in September and had the Christmas holiday soon after. Brawl did not. I think that is a testament to it's true legs.
Smashchu2 (on 09 January 2009)
Sorry to contradict you Montana, but Halo is not a title with legs. While it did manage worldwide sells top 50 for 35 weeks, it struggled for quite some time. Smash has been able to stay around the 30-20 range and went up during Christmas. Halo made most of it's sales in it's first week and a few weeks after. The reason Halo's sales are higher is because of it's first week sales. Brawl has held a strong spot.

Halo has legs compared to other 360 games, but is defiantly weaker then Brawl.

TheConduit, we don't need you pushing Nintendo's name and insulting the HD consoles at every opportunity. We already have a hundred or so guys doing that. I was just saying that the Halo series was a series with legs as well and that the statistic posted was complete crap.
TruckOSaurus (on 07 January 2009)
@OmegaRugalv3: Adding friend codes ain't that bad, it only takes a minute and well worth it.
OmegaRugalv3 (on 05 January 2009)
Brawl will no doubt outsell Halo 3 ... its been on pace to outsell before the holiday and now it's in a far better position afterwards.

Still wish this game's online mode was not so crappy.

2 minute matches ... no options ... - horrible unless its with a friend but we all know how bad the friend code stuff is.
dante (on 04 January 2009)
brawl could outsell it
halo is competing in an oversaturated market so i think that holds back its sales potential and brawl is on a way more popular console and it has appeal in japan so it could easily happen
Arius Dion (on 04 January 2009)
Gear, he means that Brawl will outsell Halo 3 by a large margin when all is said and done.
Gearbox (on 03 January 2009)
@ playerx
what does that even mean? i predicited it wont outsell halo 3 but i also say it will
PlayerX (on 03 January 2009)
I predicted this since Brawl came out. It will not only outsell Halo 3 but will move on to Sell millions more than Halo 3.
TheConduit (on 02 January 2009)
This is a Nintendo game in its purest form.
And Nintendo,s purity as a game developer will ensure that it will always continue to be a part of video games.

90%? Ha, your math is far off. Halo is a game with huge legs.
TheConduit (on 30 December 2008)
If you take away the first week sales of Halo it loses 90% of its sales.
Nintendo games sell better in the long run.
bigjon (on 30 December 2008)
Brawl is a sure shot for 10 mil, Galaxy should, but is not a sure thing.

Brawl Might gun for 12 million by the end of this gen.
DavidValbu (on 30 December 2008)
Yes, it can beat Halo, it is selling at a higher rate.
TheConduit (on 30 December 2008)

one of the game to make the Wii so popular, on of the best games of all time for me

its the best videogame ever for me. its so cool. its very very very cool
Arius Dion (on 21 December 2008)
This was my personal game of the year for 2008. It came out in March and I'm still playing it and having just as much fun as when I first bought it. It's a game that you cannot master, you can only get better.

So deep and so simple at the same time. I wasn't a huge fan of melee, it was too...I don't know I liked the 64 version more, and Brawl is my favorite of the three.

My boy records our matches and posts em on youtube..Viewers Welcome:)
tokilamockingbrd (on 21 December 2008)
this game is getting solid cmas boost. 8 mil by end of year. Maybe 10 million by end of 09.
darkheart709 (on 21 December 2008)
@tryffel8

well you have to remember that for melee it took the entire gamecubes life to make those sales. Brawl hasn't even been out for a year and its already passed those sales. I think lifetime sales will be great,maybe not MK Wii awesome buts deffiantly going to be one of the best selling games of this gen.

If it makes anyone feel better this game was sold out at my walmart when i went yesterday so the game has probably alot of sales we don't know about since walmart isn't tracked
marcianito (on 21 December 2008)
close to 8 millions!!!
brk00 (on 21 December 2008)
One of the games of the year....

It can reach 10kk easly....
SmokedHostage (on 20 December 2008)
Outsold Melee in NA.
tryffel8 (on 19 December 2008)
Still, i think tha sales are a bit dissapointed. I mean, Melee sold 7 million copies with a userbase of just 20 million. Wii has alredy twice as big userbase.

With all the hype and stuff, iam supriced it dosent keep the same way as Mario kart is doing weak after weak in the charts
--OkeyDokey-- (on 19 December 2008)
Yeah, the way this is going it'll definitely hit 10 million. Galaxy, too.

Both well deserved :)
Batman...WTF? (on 18 December 2008)
Still hasn't gone through Christmas. 8 million is very doable before 2008....
SmokedHostage (on 13 December 2008)
Luigi has the best taunt ever.
bigjon (on 11 December 2008)
this game has legs in others... I could see it selling a minimum of 1 million more in others... which means we would only need 1.4 mil from US and Japan to make 10 mil... I think Japan can get us 200k more... maybe...

10 million is very doable.. Might take til cmas 09 or so. But it will. Seems Galaxy is more up in the air. It is not getting as big of Holiday boost as you would think.
iindyysgvxc (on 10 December 2008)
Ugggghhhh! Those character images are disturbing. They remind me a bit of "Weegee".
Batman...WTF? (on 08 December 2008)

Phoenix_Wiight (on 03 December 2008)
one of the greatest games of all time. how can you call this an epic fail?

I think the reason people hate this game is the same reason people hate Twilight Princess, They expected a OoT/Melee like experience and they got it with a few tweaks here and there..
NightDragon83 (on 02 December 2008)
This game blows... EPIC FAIL of 2008. Mario Kart Wii is 1000x better as proven by its continued success at or near the top of the weekly charts in all regions.
Lord_Yggdrassil (on 28 November 2008)
This game only has legs in America...just like Melee, Mario Kart hwoever has legs in every region. So i think this will BARELY reach 10 million by end of next year.

"There is absolutely no way that Smash will not sell more than 10 million." Hard to say.

Finally passed Galaxy.

Too many "weeks" in my post. omfggg
chrono_kazumi (on 16 October 2008)
khuutra, the game was released months later in Europe, so the hype was almost gone by that time =\

But glad to know it's having huge legs in EU =D
SmokedHostage (on 16 October 2008)
Passed Melee.
shrimpy_boy11 (on 16 October 2008)
Yea Okey Dokey... this game has been advertised to hell in New Zealand...and has been working as it did enter the top ten in NZ...which is a miracle for a Nintendo game other than MK, Fit and Play.
--OkeyDokey-- (on 14 October 2008)
It has nice legs in Others :)
I dunno about anywhere else, but in Aus, this game is being advertised a damn lot o_O
trestres (on 13 October 2008)
It will pass Melee this week with the American numbers!
Loud_Hot_White_Box (on 13 October 2008)
SMG will benefit more from the holiday season than Brawl. This game will pass SMG only briefly if at all.
Khuutra (on 11 October 2008)
I have to wonder why it hasn't sold better in Europe...
I like Bacon (on 09 October 2008)
This will pass SMG and Melee very soon!

7 millions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmm, almost at 7 million too, wouldn't surprise me if this outsold Galaxy sometime soon.
Zucas (on 04 October 2008)
Well although it looks like its faltering remember this hasn't hit a holiday season yet. Once it does it'll be able to get more mainstream awareness per se and those increases will probably increase its weekly average for the year in 2009. Still got a long ways to go for this title. Probably around 8 million by the end of the year and will work up to 10 million by the end of 2009 if it goes accordingly.
trestres (on 03 October 2008)
Adjusted up!! 7 million this week assured :)

brute (on 16 September 2008)
It'll pass melee before the end of the year.
Zucas (on 16 September 2008)
Almost to 7 million and once it gets passes 7.08 million it'll be the best selling SSB game ever.

By region SSBM sold 1.45m in Japan, 4.49m in Americas, and 1.14m in E/O. Thus SSBB did a decent amount better in Japan while tracking alot faster in the other 2 regions. Remember SSBM sold well throughout its lifetime. SSBB will more than likely have the same things meaning this title should do a lot better. Considering it's already doing by region about the same in 1/4 of the time, this game could go on to do 10 million if not more.
CaptainDJ (on 14 September 2008)
Melee is more fun. Brawl is boring now.

kopstudent89 (on 11 September 2008)
yeah! 1 million in EU, onwards to 2 mil:D
brute (on 11 September 2008)
This game will soon outsell Super Smash Bros. Melee.
I think in the end it has a shot to outsell both the Smash bros. combined,but a small cahnce at that.
SmokedHostage (on 10 September 2008)
1.01 million in Others ;D
CONMAN15 (on 08 September 2008)
I'm at like 170 hours I think,, by the next smash I think I'll be around 300 hours. Funnest and most addictive game ever IMO.
bobbo19 (on 08 September 2008)
shit you guys play this loads.i have clocked in 70 hours of Brawl and just shy of 180 hours in Mario Kart Wii.
Faxanadu (on 07 September 2008)
still not past Mr. Gay? should happen soon.
11ht11 (on 01 September 2008)
wow, 1388 hours? i will probably never get to that this gen lol
Chrizum (on 01 September 2008)
I'm nearing 100 hours. Yes, I do have a life besides Brawl. 1388 hours is... unhealthy. :-P
brute (on 31 August 2008)
My favorite game ever.
SmokedHostage (on 29 August 2008)
4 million in America ;D
bigjon (on 29 August 2008)
seems to have found legs in others... I expect it to sell well over the Holidays when MKWii and WiiFit are sold out.
I like Bacon (on 29 August 2008)
I have almost 600 hours, ? matches, and over 20,000 KOs.
Diglet (on 28 August 2008)
im at like 120 lol
Valdens (on 28 August 2008)
Yeah, I'm a total nerd.
Oyvoyvoyv (on 27 August 2008)
1388 hours? Holy Maloley, I'm at 200 or something, (max) and I've played heaps.
Valdens (on 26 August 2008)
1388 hours, 5368 matches, 8135 total KO's.

Beat that. ;)
fazz (on 24 August 2008)
Pffft casuals, I'm at 1000 hours.
Kenology (on 22 August 2008)
Hurry up and get to a million Others. Nintendo shouldn't have waited so late to launch it. But damn is this gonna get a boost this holiday in the Americas.
Godot (on 21 August 2008)
Nintendo really missed something with Europe there. I think it's what I hate with them. No simultaneous worldwide releases.
SaviorX (on 20 August 2008)
I wonder why people celebrate so hard when Mario Kart Wii outsells Smash weekly. It's a really good game.

I guess some people are just Haters. The same company makes money off both games.
brute (on 19 August 2008)
im at 132 hrs
Zucas (on 19 August 2008)
Damn 800 hrs haha. I'm only at 70 haha.
SJGohan3972 (on 18 August 2008)
just logged my 800th hour on this game, more than any other game on my Wii (and any game since probably Pokemon Blue :)
I like Bacon (on 18 August 2008)
664 owners now. ioi better update! XD
Endz (on 16 August 2008)
6.57mil sold and 657 owners now o.o
I like Bacon (on 15 August 2008)
"Hmm... 6.55 million sold and 655 owners...

I think I've found out where ioi gets his numbers :P" - --OkeyDokey--

You are right! 6.57 m! and 657 owners!!!!!!
coonana (on 14 August 2008)
just think if it was as it should have been. A world wide release would have made this game sell around 8 million. I dont know why Nintendo is so opposed to worldwide releases.
Onimusha12 (on 14 August 2008)
Holidays are still coming Montana
--OkeyDokey-- (on 14 August 2008)
Hmm... 6.55 million sold and 655 owners...

I think I've found out where ioi gets his numbers :P
OLDSKOOL (on 12 August 2008)
I live in Australia and yes the delay hurt the game for sure but it will have huge legs in Europe. Not sure about 2 million but if we are all here in 2010 then who knows!
brute (on 10 August 2008)
it seemed it increased in japan abit,but i want it to sell atleast 10k a week there
brawl4life (on 06 August 2008)
Go buy this game now !
brute (on 04 August 2008)
i hope this sells 10 million
theshizzolator (on 04 August 2008)
Im really hoping this hits 7 million by week 35 then it has a strong chance of outselling halo 3s lifetime sales
MontanaHatchet (on 04 August 2008)
Onimusha, why do you spell coming with the letter "M" used twice?

And while the holiday season is coming, it's still going to need 1.2 million more. It doesn't sound like much, but so far the game has shown it will have steady drop offs at best.
bigjon (on 03 August 2008)
Will sell 2 million in others no problem... remember this game has sonic...
Onimusha12 (on 02 August 2008)
Holidays are still comming Montana
MontanaHatchet (on 02 August 2008)
2 million?

Okay, it's your prediction, I'll let you have fun with it. Let's just see how it turns out.
kopstudent89 (on 02 August 2008)
nah EU is known for huge legs, will reach 2 million, but question is will it do more?
MontanaHatchet (on 01 August 2008)
Wait, did this get adjusted in PAL? I thought the first week was over 400k.
trestres (on 30 July 2008)
Remember Europe is the land of the legs. Just check M&S or SMG, see how well they did.

I predict this game will sell at least 2 million in EU/Others
EL_PATRAS (on 28 July 2008)
surprisingly crumby sales in the old continent. That sucks :(
brawl4life (on 23 July 2008)
damn down to 70k a week in euro already :( ? was expecting atleast 7 weeks of 100k+
bigjon (on 22 July 2008)
This would have been a much bigger launch in Others had they not waited until after MKWii and WiiFit....
NintendoMan (on 21 July 2008)
In europe the game lost a huge amount of its hype, not to mention an invisible advertising campaign. I reckon a large chunk of people will have imported too.
MontanaHatchet (on 20 July 2008)
Because Mario Kart is consistently out of stock :-(

Seriously, didn't it sell like 30k in America this week? Silly. Nintendo obviously doesn't realize where their priorities lie.
ferret1094 (on 20 July 2008)
Montana, why do you own this and not MK then? :-s
NintendoMan (on 20 July 2008)
why is it so good Kart stayed above Brawl
brawl4life (on 20 July 2008)
boo burn Montana !
MontanaHatchet (on 18 July 2008)
I'm so glad Kart stayed above Brawl. Yeah!
Zkuq (on 17 July 2008)
Not doing too well in Others compared to Japan and America; no wonder, though, bringing the game this late to Europe (and probably other regions as well).
famousringo (on 17 July 2008)
Decent legs so far in EU, but it still can't catch Kart.
ctk495 (on 16 July 2008)
wow kart sold more the brawl interesting.
Snake612 (on 16 July 2008)
yes, they have finally done it. they hit 6 million.
SmokedHostage (on 15 July 2008)
6 million, nice job Brawl, now outsell Melee :p
MontanaHatchet (on 15 July 2008)
vvv

That's the best prediction I've ever heard.
IPWNWITHMARTH (on 12 July 2008)
IT WILL REACH 1000 MIL BY THE TIME I'M DEAD!!! lol
graywolf96 (on 11 July 2008)
i hope it sell 10 mil Lifetime
oliist (on 11 July 2008)
@Snake612
Yes.On Monday to be exactly. :)
Snake612 (on 10 July 2008)
it will hit 6 million very soon
MontanaHatchet (on 10 July 2008)
Weezy: I brought my soda and jam.
weezy (on 09 July 2008)
montana lives on the games wall's.

lol god damn son
SmokedHostage (on 08 July 2008)
It would seem I'm wrong, eh.. one can dream at least..
MontanaHatchet (on 06 July 2008)

Well it didn't sell out any shipments, it had a launch expected for the popularity of the franchise (albeit low for the popularity of the Wii), and it would go against the trend of long term legs for the game. All the other territories had a large dropoff, I'd expect at least a decent sized dropoff for Others.
SmokedHostage (on 06 July 2008)
To be honest, it's more of a hunch than anything else.
MontanaHatchet (on 06 July 2008)
Why would there be?
SmokedHostage (on 05 July 2008)
I think there's a strong chance that second week sales will be higher than first week sales in Others.
MontanaHatchet (on 05 July 2008)
Doesn't matter, almost all games have 2 or so days after they launch before the week ends. It's a tired excuse.
vgamer (on 04 July 2008)
Remember guys, 400k in TWO DAYS.
whacker41 (on 03 July 2008)
Brawl Has already beaten Melee in Japan, and is on it's way to beating it in America and Others to.
Hoffmole (on 03 July 2008)
So.... It's Melee but with more settings and characters. Whoo! Weren't Nintendo trail-blazers at one point? Ah well, I guess I can't complain after the sublime SM Galaxy.
MontanaHatchet (on 03 July 2008)
*Holds 3 million launch in front of Brawl*

You want this, don't you little fella? You hungry for it?
L.C.E.C. (on 02 July 2008)
So Close To 3 Million Launch:

2957728

...If only 42272 more copies were sold...
DRaGMaRe (on 02 July 2008)
SSBB launch in EU 27/06, charts count to 28/06
TWRoO (on 02 July 2008)
Should pass MKWii next week, but it won't stay ahead for long.

MKWii deserves it.... and both games are going to trounce previous versions so great for all.
famousringo (on 02 July 2008)
I'm not too concerned about Brawl's long-term prospects in EU. I think the hype simply wore off, thus blunting the front-loaded sales.

It's still an excellent game, and should move lots of units in the long term on its own merits.
MontanaHatchet (on 02 July 2008)
SSBM was a winner by a smaller margin, and like I've said before, it's been tradition for every Nintendo home console to have a launch game as its highest selling title.

That said, MKWii wins in innovation as well, and that's exactly what I bought the Wii for.
st_muscat0 (on 02 July 2008)
Well it’s definitely not the lack of advertisement to blame for the "bad" sales when compared to the other regions because in AUS I must have seen at least 25 brawl ads while watching the Carlton VS Essendon match.
trestres (on 02 July 2008)
SSBB walks all over MKWii, in every aspect but online play. Well its just opinions after all.

This gen MK will be the winner that's true, but last gen SSB was the champion. I blame the increasing popularity of Nintendo in Europe.
MontanaHatchet (on 02 July 2008)
Trestres: If that's the case, Mario Kart will be on top again in a couple weeks. It's a better game and people recognize that :-P
MontanaHatchet (on 02 July 2008)
Dang, seems my predictions was a bit too high. Wasn't as insane as some so I feel better.
trestres (on 01 July 2008)
Next week Brawl > MKwii :D
SmokedHostage (on 01 July 2008)
Also, there still Australia so it could still be 3 mil in first week if they're included.
SmokedHostage (on 01 July 2008)
Alright, if this sells at least 8 million in lifetime, I could die happy.
Edouble24 (on 01 July 2008)
So it's like 99 percent of the games that release in others? Just let it go, the first week sales mean nothing, total sales are everything.
SmokedHostage (on 01 July 2008)
This isn't fair.. Brawl got from Sunday to Saturday in Japan and NA.. Others only had Brawl for 2 days.. should be 3 mil if Brawl's first week was from Friday to Thursday.
MANUELF (on 01 July 2008)
almost 3 million first week
fazz (on 01 July 2008)
Almost :(
Chrizum (on 01 July 2008)
Damn, no 3 million first week. :-P
Crystalchild (on 01 July 2008)
cant be... i mean that 400k in a week thing, cuz its out for 4 days now. =/
kopstudent89 (on 01 July 2008)
its gonna hold up well second week, thats what most games do in EU. i'm expectin another 200 k in its second
PabloV (on 01 July 2008)
great game, just hated to wait so long for it. Bought it on day 1 though :D
PabloV (on 01 July 2008)
NintendoMan (on 01 July 2008)
with only 400k in its opening week in europe i reckon this game won't sell more than 10 million, shame.
SmokedHostage (on 30 June 2008)
I hope this game sells more in the holiday season. I hope this at least outsells MKWii in 2008.
Blazinice (on 30 June 2008)
Go, Brawl!
MANUELF (on 30 June 2008)
@Weezy
yes, SSBB is in the way to outsell SSBM the most selling figther game ever.
weezy (on 29 June 2008)
is this gonna be the highest selling game in the history of fighters?
haha169 (on 29 June 2008)
OMG! HAL DID NOT DEVELOP BRAWL!!! How many times do I have to say this? HAL was too lazy, and since Sakurai left, HAL felt they didn't have to do anything, except leech of a percentage of the profits.

It was developed by Sora Ltd., Monosoft, Gamearts, and 25 other unrelated companies.
SuperSteveyLes (on 29 June 2008)
Lovin it, Lovin it, Lovin it!! A masterpiece, well done Nintendo and HAL.
FaRmLaNd (on 29 June 2008)
When we went to the shops on the launch day I could see copies of the games everywhere. It didn't appear to be selling as fast as I expected.
Naum (on 28 June 2008)
Wow this adventure mode they put in just for fun is longer then some games that have been released for certain consoles.
MontanaHatchet (on 28 June 2008)
I'd give the PAL launch 600-700k, so yeah, it's a certainty.
MANUELF (on 28 June 2008)
@trestres
is very possible
trestres (on 28 June 2008)
3 million+ first week WW!!! It's gonna happen, trust me.
koopatrooper (on 27 June 2008)
got it and it doesnt work i have to wait 3 weeks now
Chrizum (on 27 June 2008)
yaaaaaaaay I got it and it works! :-D
bobbo19 (on 26 June 2008)
tommorrow comes out in UK so haps!
MontanaHatchet (on 26 June 2008)
Are you new buyers enjoying Brawl as much as we have been for 3 and a half months, or even more? I know you guys must be ;-)
MontanaHatchet (on 25 June 2008)
Valkyria: Melee sold 3 times as much in America than Japan, I don't get what you're trying to say.
Valkyria00 (on 25 June 2008)
Whats with Japan?
Its sold double in america what exactly do they want now!?
MontanaHatchet (on 25 June 2008)
Why would Brawl sell more in PAL than Japan? That would be a first in the series, and consider how much this one sold in Japan...But I'd love to be proven wrong.
HULK05 (on 25 June 2008)
1 Million in the first Week in the Europe!! I`m sure
Nickgreu (on 25 June 2008)
1 day to go(for me!) i preordered it months ago and i will get it sooner!!!!!:):)
Explosivo (on 25 June 2008)
Oh yeah, you get that Beach game that looked incredibly bad for 60% as well if you buy Brawl.
Explosivo (on 25 June 2008)
I just got a call from GAME and I get my copy on friday :)
Pretty sweet deal with 60% off if you return Mario Galaxy, Mario Kart or bunch of other games.
Chibilobolib (on 25 June 2008)

Hell, I´ll have to wait till next monday to get it...
Crystalchild (on 20 June 2008)
caaaaaaaaant wait :DDDD (now weekend, then 3 days school, and at the first Day in the Summer Holidays.
i think: 800k at the first week, and over 1,5millions in the first month for europe and others.
rudyrsr8 (on 20 June 2008)
One Week for EU
kopstudent89 (on 20 June 2008)
well it looks like EU has been so far a huge turnaround for nintendo sales wise. So how much will first week sales be? i think it might be the biggest opening for a nintendo game in easily in europe
Riachu (on 19 June 2008)
This game has serious legs in the US
Crystalchild (on 18 June 2008)
@Explosivo: 2 weeks`0,o?
just 9 days !! :DD

after an Update from Nintendo, the Imported Versions from America to europe cant be played anymore..(they killed the freeloader)
so every european with an Imported version can throw it into the trash, lol xD.
Explosivo (on 18 June 2008)
Only about 2 weeks left now :)
Diglet (on 18 June 2008)
it selles 5k a week so it would take 50 weeks, if it styas the same, to get to 2 mil in japan
Crystalchild (on 17 June 2008)
edit for my post:

of course, i meant the first 10 weeks after release, with the 1,5millions.
sorry ^^´ (of course it will sell higher after some time.)
Crystalchild (on 17 June 2008)
10 days... cant wait to play it^^. (after so long wait time...)

i think, it will sell 1,5mill. in europe and others. Not more, because lots of people imported the game already...

but over lifetime, and after a price drop, it will sell surely 8 million units.
MANUELF (on 13 June 2008)
Best fighting game EVER!!!!!!
I like Bacon (on 11 June 2008)
of course it will!
Chrizum (on 11 June 2008)
Will this game eventually sell 2 million in Japan?
MeowTheMouse (on 10 June 2008)
every gen nintendo must disappoint me with a game :(
Snes = mario kart
n64 = nothing here really :P
game cube = mario sunshine..
wii = BRAWL :(
well brawl is actually sakurai.. if it was nintendo.. it would be WAAAAAAAAY better..
Crystalchild (on 07 June 2008)
waaah, 19 days, cant wait to get it.(after so long time.. -.-).
wareagle372 (on 06 June 2008)
once it releases for EU, it will outsell both of its precessors
koopatrooper (on 06 June 2008)
21 day to go
Voltaire (on 05 June 2008)
European gamers are going to get the full of awesome gameing when this comes out there. Im american and this game is amazing, and it plays so smoothly, absolutly a great game. Worth more than the retail price.
koopatrooper (on 05 June 2008)
man i cant wait its another 22 days here
Majin-Tenshinhan (on 04 June 2008)
I can't wait for the Others launch of this game.

Also, it's about to pass the original SSB sales even without Others support.
Valdens (on 04 June 2008)
The random 4 person brawls aren't that great, but it's not that hard to find friends to play with =P
Leni (on 04 June 2008)
it has sold more than GTA IV even without Europe!!

most probably the best selling of 2008, and it deserves it!! : )
MontanaHatchet (on 02 June 2008)
Yeah, I said that and got attacked for it. It really is crap for anything besides friends code matches.
Cheebee (on 02 June 2008)
Too bad the online stuff is so utterly sucky.
Crystalchild (on 01 June 2008)
j think it will reach 5,60 until its out in europe, and there 2,50 millions, so it will reach 8 millions soon.
and after it went to a price of 30 bucks, itl go to 10 millions^^.
kopstudent89 (on 31 May 2008)
could be best selling game 2008, not releases in EU yet
Valdens (on 30 May 2008)
Best selling game of 2008, anyone?
--OkeyDokey-- (on 29 May 2008)
My God, the online is shit in this game.

Other than that, I like it a lot :)
trestres (on 28 May 2008)
Hal is the primary one, but it doesn't matter, they won't change it.

It will be close to 6 million when others launch the game, 8 million at the end of the year, great! 3 million + first week WW easily.
Onimusha12 (on 28 May 2008)
What are the other Smash Bros. Developers listed as?
Str8knox (on 25 May 2008)
Superb Ww launch! Only bested by Gta4 and Halo 3 so far. With Others numbers, this game should launch, Ww, with over 3 mil! Insane indeed.
MANUELF (on 23 May 2008)
The adjustments are ugly.
Plezbo (on 23 May 2008)
So "bad" news, looks like this game won't make the 6 million mark before it is released in Europe. SHUCKS!!!

Seriously though, this has to be the fastest selling Smash ever. After you Euro's chomp it up I expect it to be pushed well over 7 million. I'm giving it 3 weeks in Europe to reach worldwide sales of 7 mil. Given the legs of Smash Bros. games, I think we can expect this to sell over 10 mil lifetime.
trestres (on 22 May 2008)
It will do more than 10 weeks WW without dropping below 100k :D
MontanaHatchet (on 21 May 2008)
There are 21 different companies who developed the game. Just accept that those in power get to make it whatever they want it to be.
thanny (on 21 May 2008)
i would be very impressed if it can do 10 weeks without dropping under 100k
trestres (on 20 May 2008)
I think Onimusha is right, the developer is HAL not Sora
GrimPoppet (on 17 May 2008)
It's sales are bumping up and down along with the wii's supply. Right?
--OkeyDokey-- (on 16 May 2008)
I say we give in and change it back to HAL so that Girl Gamer Elite can go on with his life.
Onimusha12 (on 15 May 2008)
Does anyone else notice that it lists Hal Laboratories as the primary developer on the Wii channel before starting the game?
trestres (on 15 May 2008)
Very addicting and fun, cant stop playing it when I have the chance.

Also 6 million before it hits Europe, thats just insane.
MontanaHatchet (on 15 May 2008)
Stop spamming the page, you're not even trying anymore.
--OkeyDokey-- (on 15 May 2008)
Haha Australia gets it on the 26th. Suck on THAT you smelly Europeans!!!
TopCat8 (on 14 May 2008)
I can't believe this still isn't out in EU. I feel bad for you guys.
kushal3337@wii (on 14 May 2008)
Best seller on the wii Ever!
Diglet (on 14 May 2008)
wow amazing in 9 weeks in america it has never gone under 100k.
Riot Of The Blood (on 14 May 2008)
Melee's character roster is garbage compared to Brawls. Marth is the only cool character that game has. Everyone else isn't interesting at all. This game owns Melee.
brute (on 14 May 2008)
anyone,think this will sell 10 mil on its first birhtday?
--OkeyDokey-- (on 14 May 2008)
lulwat?
MeowTheMouse (on 11 May 2008)
"Hal Laboratories is the primary developer, not Sora."

this is why brawl is nothing compared to melee

Snake612 (on 10 May 2008)
Fastest selling game on the wii. I played it at my friend's house. I got smashed in that game. savior x, I'm offically announcing the rematch this summer. So whats your answer?
MontanaHatchet (on 10 May 2008)
Thank you Okey! Who freakin' cares?!!
Cheebee (on 09 May 2008)
Wot 5.24 million already? o.O And it's not even out in Europe yet, whoa!
--OkeyDokey-- (on 09 May 2008)
Oh...my.......god. Who cares!?
Plezbo (on 08 May 2008)
This game's numbers are great. You Europeans are going to push this beast over the edge into ridiculous sales. It sucks that you have had to wait so long, but its a fucking great game, don't worry. I just can't wait to play my cousins in Italy and Greece, as well as friends in the UK.
haha169 (on 06 May 2008)
This game will definitely surpass Melee by the end of the 2008 Christmas season, most likely more. I think the VG Chartz data is quite accurate; Nintendo said at the end of March that Brawl's sales were 4 something million. Now, 2 months later, 5 something million is really accurate. And I thought VG Chartz was a joke...maybe they just do educated guesses.
FreeTalkLive (on 06 May 2008)
I'm slow. The SE took me 12 hours.
MANUELF (on 06 May 2008)
SSBB just outsell SMG in America
supermariouniverse (on 05 May 2008)
This game has sold already over 5 million copies?? Amazing! Oh, and it passed Mario Party 8. Woot!
Soriku (on 05 May 2008)
5 mil+ already. Geez. It will hit 6 mil with European sales, and with legs, it'll have tons more sales.
coonana (on 04 May 2008)
wow Halo 3 is going to get thrown in the dust. SMG may also outsell Halo 3.
Wii-60 (on 04 May 2008)
yay 5 million
SaviorX (on 03 May 2008)
By the time this game gets to Europe, it will be at least at 5.5 million (I hope 6 mil) But after the Europe launch, this game will blow past 7.5 million by the end of the Summer. Factor in the ever-growing user base and the holidays, I think Smash will hit 10 million by the time it has been out 1 full year (in the US).
brute (on 03 May 2008)
this game will hit 6 mil the week it launches in europe
NintendoMan (on 03 May 2008)
fair do, where are the numbers for japan and america anywassy, they're usually out for a while by now
TWRoO (on 02 May 2008)
@nintendoman, games need a lot more shelf stock than consoles, it's quite possible to have a shipped number 500k above sales and still be hard to find the game
Cheebee (on 02 May 2008)
Jesus the game's already sold near FIVE MILLION?! :O And that's just Japan and the US? Whoa whoa whoaaa! Incredible.
Brianna (on 02 May 2008)
Nope, at least by 2 million...
NintendoMan (on 01 May 2008)
it must be undertracked, if nintendo shipped 4.85 million by march 31 then no way its at 4.9 now, reckon it must be undertracked at least 100k
NintendoMan (on 01 May 2008)
I reckon it may get 5.5 million before europe release
fazz (on 30 April 2008)
@Onimusha12: The box says Sora, so here it will say Sora.
--OkeyDokey-- (on 30 April 2008)
@ Brianna

Still severely undertracked I guess.
Brianna (on 29 April 2008)
I thought this sold 4.85 mil by march 31st... only 50 thousand since?
Onimusha12 (on 29 April 2008)
Also it takes the longest to get out in Others because of all the different languages and regions it has to be localized for.
MontanaHatchet (on 25 April 2008)
Actually, Japan has the lowest amount of shipped consoles for both the GC and N64.
MANUELF (on 25 April 2008)
@Montanahatchet
That is because Others was the weakest region for N64 and GC, but now with Wii in 1st I expect a least 2 million from Others.
dsoverpsp (on 25 April 2008)
i predict 15 million lifetime
haha169 (on 25 April 2008)
I'm afraid I can't stand by and watch you guys fight over Sora vs. HAL any longer, so I went and made an account.

The guy who said that the developer is HAL is the "novice" HAL did absolutely NOTHING, except for loaning Sora some Melee codes.

Because Sora used HAL's code, HAL is listed on the game, but Sora still developed it. Game Arts and Monolith Soft did more than HAL did.
MontanaHatchet (on 25 April 2008)
Brawl will sell well in Europe, but some people are overestimating its appeal there. It's the series' weakest region, after all.
Crystalchild (on 25 April 2008)
i think that Brawl will sell with europe 7,5 millions, and after some Years, it will reach 8-9 millions.
SaviorX (on 24 April 2008)
This comes out in Europe June 27th. This game will soon pass SMG and in a few months and some change pass Melee LTD. Plus, add the fact the Wii has only been out 18 months and Smash Brawl has already hit 4.9 million....the legs this game will have for the next few years will probably get it to that 8 million mark at least. It's European release will be very exciting. Especially when its worlwide 1st week sales are added up from all 3 regions.
MontanaHatchet (on 24 April 2008)
There are actually 19 studios responsible for developing Brawl, so let's just go with the company Sakurai belongs to.
nordlead (on 24 April 2008)
I agree with Onimusha12, the developer should be Hal Laboratories. If they put Hal as the developer in the game, it doesn't matter if it was subcontracted to Sora Ltd. or whoever.
Finnbar (on 23 April 2008)
This game is pure gold! all we need and a little nickle (others) and it will go white..
fazz (on 22 April 2008)
But Onimusha12, in the box it says Sora, not Hal :P
Krim (on 22 April 2008)
This game is doing so well. The Jp sales has already surpassed ssbm life sales and at this rate I expect it'll out sell the jp ssb. And I'm feel confident saying the "Other" sales will smash the melee sales when ever it's released. About another million in american sales and it'll match melees. Yep if you ask me this game has a decent chance of matching a certain shooters life time sales...
tokilamockingbrd (on 22 April 2008)
NA is making Brawl look like a flop in Japan... : )

This could catch SMG before it even hits Europe... Europes first 2-3 week will put Brawl above SMG... Amazing
Edouble24 (on 22 April 2008)
There is still not official European date, but all sources point to either June 6th or June 1st.
--OkeyDokey-- (on 22 April 2008)
Is that European release date official^^^
--OkeyDokey-- (on 22 April 2008)
Well maybe not that early.....
--OkeyDokey-- (on 22 April 2008)
!!!!!!!!!!!!
It could pass Mario Galaxy as early as next week in NA!

O_______O
trestres (on 21 April 2008)
wow, 5 million and could get up to 6 without being released in Others ! HOLY
ZenfoldorVGI (on 21 April 2008)
Adjustments? Looks like it. Is the NYT article still accurate about the percentage drop in Brawl.

You guys know, NYT and Kotaku say that Wii owners don't buy Nintendo games.
MANUELF (on 21 April 2008)
Next week 5 million!!!!!!!!
Brianna (on 21 April 2008)

I think NPD does have Canada because they say brawl sold 200,000 in march over there, maybe this game is undertracked?
dsoverpsp (on 21 April 2008)
10 million by end of year?
MANUELF (on 20 April 2008)
This game is released in Europe on June 1?
Crystalchild (on 20 April 2008)
will sell 6millions for sure.. when its out in europe.
MontanaHatchet (on 19 April 2008)
Well, there you go.
Acevil (on 19 April 2008)
Actually it wouldn't be wrong either. I will get to that in a second. The real developer aka the group that made it is known as Sora Ltd.

Now that isn't the only group that worked on it. HAL Laboratory, Game Arts, and Monolith Soft.

HAL Laboratory is the company given credit for it.
loadedstatement (on 19 April 2008)
UK release date has not been announced yet. Expect it this summer. June most likely.
LetsAllMakeBelieve (on 19 April 2008)
anyone know the UK release date?
MontanaHatchet (on 18 April 2008)
And your reasoning for that is?
--OkeyDokey-- (on 18 April 2008)
Majorly undertracked! Good news :)

So 3 millon in March plus the first two weeks of April......should be over 5 million by now :D
brawl4life (on 18 April 2008)
great to see it still selling so well
Roflinator (on 17 April 2008)
Wow, this game has longer legs in American sales compared to Japan's.

I wonder how Europe's sales will go in terms of legs.

It'll probably outsell Melee by the end of this year. That is if Nintendo releases Brawl in Europe soon.
trestres (on 17 April 2008)
@Playnext, bad attempt at trolling, since MHP2G is at 1,6 million, this game is 4,1million already, plus its being undertracked in america.
The game could be anywhere near 5 million right now.
regin2005 (on 17 April 2008)
I might get me a Wii and play this.
fgkiller (on 17 April 2008)
This game is undertracked in North America.
NPD Number have it at 2.7milloin just for march.
Untouch (on 17 April 2008)
2m*
Untouch (on 17 April 2008)
Im expecting 3m more sales from euro.
playnext3 (on 17 April 2008)
MHP2G just outsol this game
ZenfoldorVGI (on 17 April 2008)

I respect your opinion because I must. I disagree because it's obvious.
Untouch (on 16 April 2008)

Well done.
MeowTheMouse (on 16 April 2008)
if this game deserves 10/10
then melee deserves 14/10
Cheebee (on 16 April 2008)
Man, this game has better legs than I thought it would! Awesome!
ZenfoldorVGI (on 16 April 2008)
@Riot

It's sold 4 million copies and hasn't hit Others yet.

This game's gonna pass Halo 3 fast, lol.

The console's userbase is only so big. 4 freakin' million. You know those legs are gonna be sick, lol. Time it's all said and done, woooo, man, sales on this puppy are gonna do ya proud.
MontanaHatchet (on 14 April 2008)
*Looks at IGN*

Yup, Game Arts, I knew I was right.
Renna (on 12 April 2008)
Anything that sells millions in the first week is going to have a pretty big drop when it's not the holiday season. The game is selling just fine according to these numbers, which may or may not be accurate.
hunter_alien (on 11 April 2008)
I wonder how much more will it sell when it hits the Others region :D
Riot Of The Blood (on 11 April 2008)
This game isn't selling as well as I thought it would. Hopefuly it can do 100k in America for a few more weeks. I want other developers to take notice of this game sales and make stuff like it.
Untouch (on 10 April 2008)
4m 4m 4m

PLZ
trestres (on 10 April 2008)
golden week is near, plus MKWii was just released, so if more wii's are sold, chances are people will get the game so sales = increase :D
NintendoMan (on 10 April 2008)
that makes sense and it would quite an awesome thing, i cnat eleiev japan has already fallan below 30k, i expected another 2 weeks at that level.
trestres (on 10 April 2008)
4m already, I think the EU release date will be announced at the dojo on april 14th, when the last update of the page takes plaace.
Roy03 (on 09 April 2008)
Japan numbers will bring it to 4m :D

Diglet (on 06 April 2008)
after the first 10 weeks after it comes out in europe i think it will sell 60k ww each week. and hit 8 mil by end of year.
NintendoMan (on 06 April 2008)
Eurpoeans Import!
Aidman (on 04 April 2008)
if there's one game which make all Nintendo's, Sony 's and MS' fanboys in logical peace is Super Smash Bros Brawl.
swordplay (on 04 April 2008)
I enjoyed the game but was upset with the roster where are the hot babes? Dixie Kong, Krystal, The fire Emblem ladies and Golden Sun chicks.
Diglet (on 03 April 2008)
30k is good too, so japan STAY IN 30k+ range please
L.C.E.C. (on 03 April 2008)
C'mon Nintendo, release this game in Europe so they can play AND, so that This game can FInally pass up Halo 3!!!
Diglet (on 03 April 2008)
if japan can stay at 40k and america can pull of 160k its in the four mils
trestres (on 02 April 2008)
its possible it will break 4 million next week
--OkeyDokey-- (on 02 April 2008)
Yay, it just passed Mario and Sonic Olympics to become the fourth best selling non bundled wii game :)
MANUELF (on 02 April 2008)
not, because is a April fool joke.
NintendoMan (on 02 April 2008)
amazon says april 30, play.com says may 30th,. god dam nintendo get the game out already.
Roflinator (on 02 April 2008)
I just hope Nintendo of Europe announces its release date for the poor Europeans soon. Anything from April to June sounds good. :/

June 12 sounds legit but there's no proof of that. Infact, the UK site on the Dojo hasn't said word of the release date.
NintendoMan (on 02 April 2008)
can you actually prove that
MANUELF (on 02 April 2008)
The release date in others is June 12
Crystalchild (on 01 April 2008)
lol.. nice sales, but why? fuckin nintendo.. WHY isnt it out in europe yet?!?!?!?! that bastards will release it in summer here ,lol!
Onimusha12 (on 31 March 2008)

Look at the predessors.It`s a Nintendo game and we live in Wii age the golden age of the legs
Explosivo (on 27 March 2008)
Pretty good second week, I was hoping for more but hopefully it won't go under 100k until summer.
NintendoMan (on 27 March 2008)
i expected second week sales of over 400K, i hope this isn't an early sign that it will have short legs

Nice, now that the comments are organized like this it's much more readable. I can also delete troll comments now.

MontanaHatchet (on 26 March 2008)
I was talking about search, not friend code matches.

Well, that would explain that confusion.
trestres (on 26 March 2008)
No, Im not. Sorry, but you are one of the few who has lag on friend matches.
MontanaHatchet (on 26 March 2008)
My connection is wonderful.

And I own it, so my judgment is better.

You are wrong.
trestres (on 26 March 2008)
Yea me too, fanboys bring down the score of this wonderful game.

And montana, NO I dont own the game, but my friends do own it, so I can judge it by what I experienced from it.

Get a better connection.
MANUELF (on 26 March 2008)
This game have low score, I blame fanboys.
WorseCase (on 25 March 2008)
the game sucks don't get it.. online is horrible and its the same as last year

Online with friends works fine for me but the online with anyone isnt that good for me either.
SuperSteveyLes (on 24 March 2008)
PPPLLLLLEEEEAAAASSSEEE confirm a date for europe this year, I'm dying to get my hands on it. Saw a trailer on holiday in the US in february, it got me very excited.
NintendoTogepi (on 24 March 2008)
Great game, but the online is unusable.

It takes 5 minutes to find someone, and then the game lags REALLY BAD and then errors.

I actually haven't played one good match that didn't lag horribly and error, and I've tried like 50 times.
MeowTheMouse (on 24 March 2008)
melee + new chars + balance > brawl
melee as it is = brawl
melee = for pros
brawl = party game
Nintendo Fan Girl (on 23 March 2008)
hopefully my copy comes tomorrow!!!!!!!
MontanaHatchet (on 23 March 2008)
I also love how Captain says that MGS4 can't beat it out of nowhere.

Like any of us care...
MontanaHatchet (on 23 March 2008)
I haven't done friends code match, and my internet is faster than a *insert stereotype* at a *insert event or place*!
Tormod (on 23 March 2008)
Online lags like hell... -.-
Captian_Twig (on 23 March 2008)
MGS4 has no chance of out selling it.
naznatips (on 23 March 2008)
Also Montana, friend code online is lag free unless one of the 2 people playing is laggy. If you haven't been in a lag free friend code match, odds are (unfortunately) that your internet blows, and that all of us should avoid you at all costs.
:-P
MontanaHatchet (on 22 March 2008)
Oh man, the excitement when you first get this game is just phenomenal. I think Alice Cooper's description of "Schools Out" can safely summarize it:

"What's the greatest three minutes of your life?". Says Cooper: "There's two times during the year. One is Christmas morning, when you're just getting ready to open the presents. The greed factor is right there. The next one is the last three minutes of the last day of school when you're sitting there and it's like a slow fuse burning. I said, 'If we can catch that three minutes in a song, it's going to be so big.'"

Also, for trestres, at least own the game before calling me a troll.
dsoverpsp (on 22 March 2008)
it is here!!
fazz (on 22 March 2008)
Yeah, lately it's been lag free most of the time.

People really need to learn how to turn their Wii into DMZ-mode :(
Onimusha12 (on 22 March 2008)
you can turn on the deflicker option to reduce lagging or try using a lan cable instead of Wi-Fi to play. Usually its the other person's connection.
Roflinator (on 22 March 2008)
Most of my matches are lag-free. Also, is it me or am I seeing Hudson Soft getting the credit under the boxart pic?
trestres (on 22 March 2008)
Sorry but they werent laggy for me, just the usual fanboy rant/attack/cut veins if this game is not in ur system stuff.
Griffin (on 22 March 2008)
I don't understand why they have lag on a Nintendo game, do they not have servers, or is it just P2P?
Nintendo Fan Girl (on 21 March 2008)

American Brawl already outsold Japanese Brawl's sales. rofl

I knew it'd reach 3 million worldwide today, but who doesn't?
loadedstatement (on 18 March 2008)
If Brawl has any legs at all, it'll beat Halo 3 sales no doubt.

My favorite game now.
Gnosis (on 18 March 2008)
1,576,990 Very nice. Well done SSBB.
thetonestarr (on 17 March 2008)
1.3m is highly unlikely - I agree. But it's far from impossible. Luckily, there is enough time until it's European/Others release that it's totally possible for Nintendo to pump it up.

I doubt they find that to be that terribly big a deal, but you never know.
Sky Render (on 17 March 2008)
Going by current numbers, SSBB would have to sell 1,369,467 copies minimum during its launch week in Europe to pass Halo 3's worldwide launch numbers. Which seems... borderline unlikely, unless Nintendo really gets the hype going and makes sure that a huge shipment reaches Europe for that first week. I honestly doubt they'll bother going to the trouble; Brawl will have legs that Halo 3 can only dream of.
Arkert (on 17 March 2008)
And the shipment from Nintendo are not high like Microsoft for Halo 3. Next week SSBB selling again 1 million or something, i am sure.
Arkert (on 17 March 2008)
It have a chance...it need 1 million for europe...

And SSBB is a long time seller. ;) Brawl beat Halo 3 easily.
MontanaHatchet (on 17 March 2008)
No chance for beating Halo 3's launch now. Sorry.
SSurTails (on 17 March 2008)
if Others brawl first week sells more than 1 million, Brawl would officialy outsell halo 3 on its release.
SHMUPGurus (on 17 March 2008)
Wow, simply amazing. This game deserves all these sales, definitely. More coming hopefully! =P
11ht11 (on 17 March 2008)
10 million? more like 25 million lol jk
but wow sales in NA already passed japan in one week
tombi123 (on 17 March 2008)
5 million? It will probably top 10M.
playnext3 (on 17 March 2008)
ssbb now is at 3 million with numbers of NA'1.4 million first week) plus numbers of japan,it will easly top 5million

I bet you that in the next update Brawl will have atleast 3 million copies sold world wide. Or maybe even 3.5 million.

Valdens (on 13 March 2008)
Nice opinion. I disagree.
Phil4387 (on 13 March 2008)
Fought the urge to buy a Wii just to get this game and I'm glad I did so after playing it at a friends house. Not saying it's a bad game or anything, there's just not enough changes made to this installment of the series from the last one. So much to the point where I never really felt like I was playing a new game. The new features they added are nice and all but they're just too gimmicky and add very little.

Online is alright, but I believe is only worth playing with people you know through friend codes (which technically could be done in melee) and without any real methods of communication it doesn't really come close to actually sitting there playing with a group of friends. The random matches are limiting and unrewarding. Hopefully Nintendo will get their act together when it comes to online gaming for the next Smash Bros.

tl;dr : IMO this is the most overhyped game since Halo 3.
bigjon (on 12 March 2008)

Krim (on 29 February 2008)
@Sleepwalking

I (as you guessed) dislike the consol wars and this site being one that tracks vg hardware/software is most likely to attract those intereted in said war. So your question is good one...the reason I eventually joined is because much to my shock the community here is a 1000 times more pleasant than just about every other Vg site I joined.

For your second question...yes. That exactly what I mean. I feel it is possible to be involved with it without acting like a fanboy.
SleepWaking (on 28 February 2008)
Hey Krim why exactly are you a member of this site if you don't like the console wars? You do know this site is about the console wars do you? I think you can be involved in it without being a fanboy because that is what you really mean isn't it?
Krim (on 28 February 2008)
@hihihi
You see theirs this thing called "Consol Wars" its a collective stupid where a bunch people get together and act like six y/os. Those involved tend to piss and moan for hours about how their consol of choice is better then everyone elses. One of the many things moaned about in these "Consol Wars" is the score of games. Generally if a site allows anyone to vote on the rating of a game and allows people to vote more then once it attract people involved with the "Consol Wars". Simply put alot of the people rating games down on this site don't actually own them or the consol their on. Their simply rating it down due to their involvement with the stupid known as "Consol Wars".
Majin-Tenshinhan (on 28 February 2008)
From what I saw, Montana Hatchet was defending the game from trolls earlier up. Now, I haven't been here very long, but to me it just seems like he's being fair.
11ht11 (on 27 February 2008)
this game shows that the wii is twice as powerful as the gamecube,
Roflinator (on 27 February 2008)
1.39 million? Very close to Melee's lifetime sales in Japan :)
Roflinator (on 25 February 2008)
It's coming out on the 9th, which is a Sunday. I'm sure of it, yoshiboots.
yoshiboots (on 25 February 2008)

Edge112 (on 25 February 2008)

trestres (on 25 February 2008)
Damn it, angry sony fanboys got nothing better to do than rate a game with a 1, before they even get a chance to play it.
Stop it !
Girl Gamer Elite (on 25 February 2008)
Lol @ my spell checker.
koopatrooper (on 25 February 2008)

hihihi (on 24 February 2008)
why is it going down in ranking
Roflinator (on 24 February 2008)
1.30 million in Japan. Nice. It'll beat Japan's total Melee's sales before we get the game!
MontanaHatchet (on 24 February 2008)
Oh no, it's rated above every PS3 game! Nintendo fans are being victimized!
hihihi (on 23 February 2008)
wow whats with the low rateing
Girl Gamer Elite (on 22 February 2008)
Sony and MS fanboys are already voting it down in ranking
ZenfoldorVGI (on 22 February 2008)
I just ordered 8 6f gamecube remote extension cords, for 2, possibly 3, controllers, lol.
yoshiboots (on 21 February 2008)

MANUELF (on 21 February 2008)
Quien le está bajando la calificación?, this game need stay in top 10 with better rate.
weezy (on 18 February 2008)
This will be the first AAAA title ever made.

thats right you heard me. FOUR A'S BTICHESS
supermario128 (on 17 February 2008)
You guys are predicting to low, I say 17 million at the lowest.
trestres (on 17 February 2008)
Probably my most anticipated game evarrr
RCTjunkie (on 16 February 2008)
Overall, I predict 9m WW
stynkkeli (on 16 February 2008)
13M ww and one of the best selling games of this generation.
11ht11 (on 15 February 2008)
people at my school are soo desperate to play this, that they ordered one from japan
Roflinator (on 15 February 2008)
Wow. 8.13 on the rating. Surprised. XD
tombi123 (on 15 February 2008)
I predict 9M.
Riot Of The Blood (on 15 February 2008)
Note to self: Never call a Nintendo Franchise kiddie.
Phoenix_Wiight (on 14 February 2008)
ya, its too easy to bash people like that tho...
then again, i guess the only way he could get over the fact that his games are bad is by saying other ones are too?
Mewt73 (on 14 February 2008)
Come on people, don't bash him, that's obviously what he wants you to do. He probably just randomly clicked here, figured since he saw Mario, it was a kid game, that also figured there were a bunch of adults here. Then he did this to get a laugh...
Explosivo (on 14 February 2008)
Million seller, I'm prediction 15 mln ww.
coonana (on 14 February 2008)
the only thing holding this game back is the supply lol Nintendo is the only thing holding this back.
supermario128 (on 13 February 2008)
Million seller, I'm predicting 17 million overall.
Roflinator (on 13 February 2008)
Strategyking92, you're a dumbass if you can't handle games that are "kiddie".
Riot Of The Blood (on 13 February 2008)
StragtegyKing is right. I'm not going to have anyone to play this game with, because my gaming friends are more into games like Madden and such. Online is going to be the way to go for me.
bigjon (on 13 February 2008)
Go play your "mature" games and refrain from making inmature comments in game profiles.
famousringo (on 13 February 2008)
All Strategyking92 does is talk trash in the games comments, it seems.
MontanaHatchet (on 12 February 2008)
What a horrible trolling comment. I hope you get verbally torn to shreds.
Strategyking92 (on 12 February 2008)
what sane adult would buy this? I guess the ones that play by themselves or online cause they got no1 that plays kiddie games :-()

This post will get reported, because they're too "sensitive"
koopatrooper (on 11 February 2008)
what its not a million seller yet
Quartz (on 11 February 2008)
I still think there are not enough screen shots... :)
--OkeyDokey-- (on 10 February 2008)
I predict this game will sell 454k in its second week.
HoodFigga (on 10 February 2008)
Only game I'm interested in on the Wii.
ClaudeLv250 (on 10 February 2008)
I know.

But at least it wasn't modeled after Tinky-Winky.
MontanaHatchet (on 09 February 2008)
Claude, your design totally sucks.

*Gets to work*
RCTjunkie (on 09 February 2008)
Not what I was hoping for, but good opening week none the less.
--OkeyDokey-- (on 09 February 2008)
if this game can manage atleast 3 million in japan, it may have an advantage over GTA and definately beat halo 3.
yoshiboots (on 09 February 2008)
wow pretty large week 1. just makes me want it more and more.
11ht11 (on 09 February 2008)
wow, the sales of this game in japan, are really good, another million seller for the wii, not a surprise lol
lemieux-rules66 (on 09 February 2008)

SOAD_KoRn (on 09 February 2008)
I believe it will sell more than 15 million
Oyvoyvoyv (on 09 February 2008)
@Roy 03 and Fleunam.

Sure Wii Fit won't beat it`?
coonana (on 09 February 2008)
It owuld have sold a million if nintendo made enough copies. Good ol nintendo and their awkward mistakes.
saveren (on 09 February 2008)
The Wind Waker for the win!
MANUELF (on 09 February 2008)
@Roy03
Only GTA both(PS3+Xbox360)have a change, but only in one console not change.
Roy03 (on 09 February 2008)
Hm I guess it will be the 2nd best selling game, will be a close battle GTA4 and Smash.
4D Gamer III (on 09 February 2008)
This will easily be the best selling game of this generation.
thetonestarr (on 09 February 2008)
hahaha awesome sales numbers. and in japan! goodness.

Leni (on 09 February 2008)

Jessman (on 03 February 2008)

Phoenix_Wiight (on 01 February 2008)
hopefully will get to 1mil by the end of the week and continue doing awesome :)
ZenfoldorVGI (on 01 February 2008)
Out in Japan, first day sales, 500,000 units.
Kasz216 (on 28 January 2008)
Whoa the Sim City guy? How'd i miss him? Neat!
rudyrsr8 (on 27 January 2008)
Wow who in thw world posted so many freaking pics? Can a mod reduce the pics please it looks tacky.
xLordOblivionx (on 27 January 2008)
Well, I actually rated the game because I got a chance to play the demo at E for All O.o.
I like Bacon (on 26 January 2008)
I own it too because of my pre-order. But I won't add it until March 10th because I'll be too busy playing on the 9th!
robond (on 24 January 2008)
I own it because I´ve paid the pre sale of the game already.
highwaystar101 (on 24 January 2008)
The game isn't out, so why are so many people saying they own it?
supermario128 (on 18 January 2008)
If only Nintendo fan boys voted then this would be a perfect 10, but that's not the case is it.
hihihi (on 16 January 2008)
227 fuckn fanboys already rated this game. *begins sarcasm* I like it how people troll and rate games baldy or rate games a 10 that they have never played becuase they are inrogant fanboys *ends sarcasm*.
supermariouniverse (on 15 January 2008)
Can't wait for this game...too bad it got delayed again.
Shade (on 15 January 2008)
Why did they keep delaying it by a couple of weeks? Couldn't they have just delayed it once by months? Stop teasing us Nintendo!
Edouble24 (on 15 January 2008)
delayed again :( I'm gonna cry now
I like Bacon (on 15 January 2008)
NOOOO!!!!! >_
omgwtfbbq (on 13 January 2008)
to be fair, if the system allows you to rate a game before it is released, then you can fairly expect that you are allowed to rate the game, based on how much you are interested in it.

It is the fault of the rating system for allowing a game to be rated before it is released, rather than the people who are rating it.
segajon (on 12 January 2008)
Let the all important pre-launch ratings begin.
zerosaurus (on 09 January 2008)
I pushed "I own this game" because I have authorized payment for it. Physically the only thing I own is an electronic receipt (even though that isn't quite physical). "Own" is up for interpretation.
Mummelmann (on 09 January 2008)
Why the hell do people press the "I own this game" button before the game is available?! You look really stupid when you do that.
nordlead (on 08 January 2008)
I see I started a trend, and all I wanted to know is if it was possible.... oh well, i'll own it soon enough anyways.
Psychoace (on 31 December 2007)
Reggie doesn't control when it gets released, that would be Sakurai.
hunter_alien (on 29 December 2007)
Man this game looks so freaking amazing . As good as a first gen 360 game ... maybe it looks even batter than Kameo ?
konnichiwa (on 27 December 2007)
... Serious ...Can I rent someone's copy?

Soriku (on 27 December 2007)
People already own this game? :D z0mg tim3 machinezz!
KeptoKnight (on 19 December 2007)
This game right here is going to be Scary.....we all are going to be hearing it in our sleep....
segajon (on 19 December 2007)
Ninty fanboys gave this one a headstart for good ratings
HALOOOOOOOO (on 15 December 2007)
Why is this game even ranked? Stupid Ninty fanboys.
loadedstatement (on 09 December 2007)
I need this game. My doctor prescribed it. I need it to live.
wow (on 04 December 2007)
STOP RATEING GAMES BEFORE THEY COME OUT YOU 110 FANBOYS
--OkeyDokey-- (on 04 December 2007)
apparently, 3 people own this game.
Nintendo Fan Girl (on 02 December 2007)
i cant wait to get this game.
KeptoKnight (on 25 November 2007)
This is going to be EVERYONES "fighting game" until its sequel.....
leo-j (on 22 November 2007)
Someone owns the game lmao!
kems (on 17 November 2007)
This can't be possible, this can be the best game ever and the people rank 8.62 and before relase? why we can rate this game? =/
damkira (on 17 November 2007)
Ugh.. I'm sure this game will be good enough to earn an 8.6 rating but nobody has played it yet...
RCTjunkie (on 16 November 2007)
Gawd, I hope by february they get rid of the "Wii would like to play" commercials.
holycow101 (on 16 November 2007)
wow nintendo fan boys are the ones complaining about rating before a game is released and what do they do give this game ratings
fazz (on 16 November 2007)
Wait... that's the final boxart? It's horrid! Ugh!
supermario128 (on 15 November 2007)
Updated the box art to the final version. I don't like it to much though.
thanny (on 30 October 2007)
why are we even allowed to rate a game before its release? cos you please change that ioi. anyways, cant wait! (lets see leo-j complain about this, like he did about melee's length)
Edouble24 (on 22 October 2007)
oh god I can't wait for this game! I'm tempted to give it a 10 already
supermario128 (on 15 October 2007)
I'm pretty sure that is the real one that nintendo used in their press release.
MontanaHatchet (on 14 October 2007)
It was from Wikipedia.

Sue me.
fazz (on 14 October 2007)
Who picked the ugliest fan box-art available?
leo-j (on 13 October 2007)
Its coming out februaury.. Reggie should be fired for lying..
konnichiwa (on 02 September 2007)
Yay
MontanaHatchet (on 28 August 2007)
Yay for the idiot who added every screenshot known to man.
