Although a bit surprising when taking into account Nintendo's other sales beast, Pokemon, Super Smash Brothers Brawl for the Wii is Nintendo's fastest selling game in America - EVER. According to Nintendo the game has sold 1.4 million units in the first week of sales. I can only hope that Nintendo learns from this and realizes that they need to pay attention to their "core" gamers because if they treat them right their games will have incredible success.
