If I were Nintendo right now, I’d be swimming around in pools full of $100 bills. They’re on top of the world. Along with the Wii and DS selling at the top of the charts almost every month, Super Smash Bros. Brawl destroyed some sales records of its own.
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.
That’s an insane amount of sales. It didn’t take down Halo 3 as the fastest selling game ever, but it came pretty damn close. You can’t deny it, people love Smash Bros. and this game will continue to sell at a high pace as more and more people buy Wii’s (when they can find them).
