SSBB Sells A Million, Becomes the Fastest Selling Wii Game !

kotaku.com — When it went on sale, the game sold out at loads of Tokyo game shops, and in the last two weeks, the title has shifted a million copies. It took Wii Fit seven weeks to hit a million copies sold, and it took Wii Sports eleven weeks to hit that milestone. That makes Super Smash Bros. Brawl the fastest selling Wii game.

  • riggs32, on 02/12/2008, -2/+88am i the only one who thinks its funny that this is going to be the #1 selling game on the wii, and most people are going to play with the gamecube controller?

    btw, i have a wii, so don't digg me down fanboys :-)
  • waynne, on 02/12/2008, -6/+90I'm looking forward to this game hitting our shores.
  • p014k, on 02/12/2008, -2/+58FALCON PUNCH!!!!
  • Akaji, on 02/12/2008, -2/+44I'm looking forward to not going to class for a week.
  • msodrew, on 02/12/2008, -0/+42I have the JAP version via torrent, and plan to buy the NTSC version when it comes march 9... some random notes:

    - Fox is slower.
    - Fox's upward smash is no longer stupid-strong.
    - Zero-suit Samus is legit.
    - Kirby no longer turns into a fireball with run + A
    - Lucas' method of getting the final smash is extremely easy and cheap.
    - They made some characters so slow (King DeeDeeDee), that it effectively jukes out faster characters because of the unexpected slowness.
    - Having 3 different taunts and 5+ outfits per character is cooler than you may think.
    - Luigi is somehow more gay.
  • LittleFishChan, on 02/12/2008, -4/+43It's a Nintendo fan's ultimate dream, and we all know it's going to be a solid product. I'm not surprised.
  • richman241, on 02/12/2008, -0/+39how can luigi get any gayer
  • baseballbear, on 02/12/2008, -6/+39NO ITEMS
    FOX ONLY
    FINAL DESTINATION
  • RBrenner14, on 02/12/2008, -0/+32You guys wanna go fishing?

    NO POLES.
    NO TACKLE.
    NO BOAT.
    NO AIR.
    FINAL DESTINATION.
  • Xenufield, on 02/12/2008, -5/+37Sounds like someone's bitter they wasted $700 on a PS3.
  • Ndiggnation, on 02/12/2008, -0/+22At least that'll be a good game with Sonic in it..
  • mickhead, on 02/12/2008, -3/+23Nintendos games are actually finished when they're released. Thats why they take so long.
  • requiem3, on 02/12/2008, -5/+24I really don't see how any Wii game will be able to outsell SSBB, not even Mario Kart for the Wii. The hype everyone has built up since Wii launch is finally being released. Marth 9th can't come soon enough.
  • dannydyer1000, on 02/12/2008, -6/+25I see your FALCON PUNCH and raise you a SHOW ME YOUR BOOBS!
  • catfud, on 02/12/2008, -1/+17That's what she said.
  • darkchild82, on 02/12/2008, -1/+17Considering Smash Bros for the Gamecube was the best selling title for that system, I see a possibility for Brawl to do the same for the Wii.
  • tdogg241, on 02/12/2008, -0/+16Those first 5 games by themselves are more than enough reason to own a Wii.

    Super Mario Galaxy
    Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

  • revjustin2, on 02/12/2008, -1/+14So your broken Xbox is better than a working PS3? Damn. That is just harsh.
  • Zippo, on 02/12/2008, -0/+13It solves teen pregnancy.
  • Blah_Blah_Blah, on 02/12/2008, -2/+14i imported it and i can guarantee that everyone on my floor is going to fail at least one class because of it.
  • luet, on 02/12/2008, -1/+12I'd pay $100 to have just smash bros, this is like the story of the guy who got fired from apple before they went public and took the compensation fee of $500 instead of shares in the company.
  • Farik, on 02/12/2008, -0/+11Did you not anticipate the game being released or something?
  • llamagorama, on 02/12/2008, -3/+14I was so excited for the initial December release date, because that was when my work contract ended and I would have at least a month of playing SSB with no consequence.
    Now it's coming out the week after I start my new job. That hurts.
    But I'm still going to take the weekend off.
  • jd5alive, on 02/12/2008, -0/+11There goes my GPA...
  • kmesp86, on 02/12/2008, -0/+11You can design levels now.

  • rentmitchum, on 02/12/2008, -4/+14That's what she said.
  • hixxy, on 02/12/2008, -0/+9Hi Game of the Year 2008.
  • rentmitchum, on 02/12/2008, -0/+9I enjoy playing great games, as does everyone else.
  • TheMarenum, on 02/12/2008, -0/+9Well I guess I'll just have to be meta knight then. Damn.
  • b1cK, on 02/12/2008, -6/+15Can't wait until I get it!!
  • Aidanjalali, on 02/12/2008, -0/+9SHOW ME YOUR MOVES please, because I'd like to see them.
  • EtherGnat, on 02/12/2008, -2/+11Don't look now, but Wii software is outselling PS3 software about 2.5 to 1.
  • scuczu, on 02/12/2008, -1/+9Galaxy was good but nothing special?

    Did we play the same Super Mario Galaxy or was yours broken?
  • inactive, on 02/12/2008, -1/+9Should've been one awesome winter break.
  • freetyme, on 02/12/2008, -0/+8Use Sonic
  • BlueSkyfish, on 02/12/2008, -0/+8Good luck finding one.
  • Shaflugi, on 02/13/2008, -2/+10Funny, I heard Xbox Live was down the whole time.
  • richman241, on 02/12/2008, -0/+7solid, its gonna be great. Its probably going to be the number one game of 2008.
  • windandstorm, on 02/12/2008, -2/+9THE WORST IS ITS AFTER MARCH BREAK SO I CAN'T HAVE A MARATHON OF IT UNTIL SCHOOL STARTS!
  • Donoram, on 02/13/2008, -1/+8Powerstone: sept 7 1999
    SSB: Jan 21 1999

    Which one is a clone?
  • fearlessfrog, on 02/12/2008, -1/+8I'm kinda scared about The Force Unleashed.
    The wii is good at a lot of things, and great fun, but those graphics on FU look a pretty tall order.
  • luet, on 02/12/2008, -2/+9SHOW ME YOUR MOVES
  • tdogg241, on 02/12/2008, -0/+7I'm going to try the Wii controls, but ultimately this game is why I held onto my Wavebirds.
  • Zippo, on 02/12/2008, -4/+10Pfft, no items is boring.
  • WNW3, on 02/12/2008, -0/+6I have it, it's much easier to use Wavebirds than the Wii controller. Plays just like Melee. Final Smashes are a bit to easy though, just hitting A+B when you're charged
  • LordofChaosIori, on 02/12/2008, -2/+8Super Smash Brothers Brawl.... wow you must be a real genius not to be able to figure that one out.
  • revjustin2, on 02/12/2008, -1/+7Just want to throw this out there - this game, Mario Galaxy, Wii Sports, the future Mario Kart, and The Force Unleashed are worth the price of admission. Everything else is gravy.
