Nintendo: Smash Bro. is Best selling game in America EvAr!

posted 17 March 2008, Monday

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.

 REDMOND, Wash., March 17, 2008 – After just one week on store shelves, Super Smash Bros.® Brawl for Wii has become the fastest-selling video game in Nintendo of America's history. Since its launch on March 9, the feature-packed fighting action game has sold more than 1.4 million units in the United States, including more than 874,000 on March 9 alone. It has sold at a rate of more than 120 units per minute between launch and March 16.
