A MILLION!? ONLY JAPAN!? THIS IS CRAZY!

 

[Wyntir]

They're probably going into the same direction as MK8 DLC.

like preordering dlc?

I knew it was going to sell well.

 

[GunGunW]

I wonder how many of those sales are from westerners with Japanese 3DS's.

[YamiKitsune]

The amount of "SMASH" jokes is repulsive.

 

[Suli Hyuga]

These Smash Bros 4 sales are quite.....
Sma-
CRACKING!

 

[Spaghetti Falco]

So many "Smashing" puns..

 

[Geno Boost]

nintendo did just wins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Malkasaur]

OH SHEIT. Well I saw this coming. This game is going to outsell Brawl in less than a year. But will the Wii U version live up to it? We'll know by the end of the year...

 

[♫ Zura ♫]

That's right!

Excellent! That's what I love to hear!
Okay fellow Americans, we gotta beat Japans score of 1 million in 4 days. Can we do it?

I'd like to assume it will be beat on day 1?
If you mean the 3DS version only I can't really say, but as for the console version!? Please...

Wow...that's really an amazing statistic! Smash is really popular!

I meant the 3DS version. We will have to wait until the Wii U version is released to see what kind of numbers it sells.

 

[Aguki90]

And that only the start...

 

[Duskinja]

1.3 million is a good start. This means that it only needs 5.71 million sells in less than 7 years to beat Melee!

...what? Too soon?

 

[Rambeard]

Wow, that's awesome for only four days being released. It has almost outsold Melee. It will most definitely double Brawl imo.

 

[noahk777]

I guess you could call this a

[puts on sunglasses]

Smash hit.

YEAAAA!

 

[TrevonMarrast]

Damn!

 

[bigbro2233]

Looks like Super Smash Bros for 3DS is a..................







Smash Hit!

"Wow! A new record!"

 

[Dr.Megaman]

Looks like its a smashing success!

 

[Delzethin]

As if there was any doubt.

 

[Ganreizu]

"Arguably Nintendo's biggest franchise"? I highly doubt that. In terms of volume, maybe, but not in terms of sales.

Big enough for them to develop two of, mechanically, the same game for two completely different platforms.

 

[Daiki]

*click* Nice

Meanwhile at Nintendo HQ:

 

[Estwood]

You can't really say it sold that much because a lot of people bought outside of Japan and wanted to play the game early.

 

[hdubard14]

I can't say I'm to surprised! :D

 

[Deleted member]

1 million copies in Japan alone? Mind = blown.

 

[SmashHole '82]

I think this will sell almost as well as the top 3DS games, so I would say (modestly) about 8 million for the 3DS version, and about 4 million for the Wii U version.
I know that sounds low, but the most successful 3DS games have averaged about 8 million each, with 44 million-plus systems sold, and the top Wii U games have averaged about 3 million each, with 6 million-plus systems sold, with Nintendo hoping that 3.6 million Wii U consoles and 12 million 3DS handhelds will sell in the next 12 months.
No doubt Smash is where it's at, for the next year.

 

[Tino]

Over 1 million copies already? And it's not even a full week yet. :0

#Thehypeisreal

yes we can!

 

[BobEugCox]

Wow! Congrats to Nintendo! I'm sure this feels nice at a time that they're not doing so hot. Their 1st party games can't sell this well but mix the characters together in one game and you've got a recipe for a serious cash crop! Add DLC to smash bros (Dixie, Lucas, Ice Climbers, Snake and Wolf) and you guys will be set until the year 3000!

 

[The21stSmasher]

Now THAT'S some awesome news for Smash 4!
Hopefully the sales skyrockets even higher in the future!

 

[Soul.]

This is good news. Nintendo must be happy right now.

 

[fearless.leader]

smash 4 is practically the godsend for the competative smash scene. I'm going to place a bet right here the u.s. is going to beat those numbers.

 

[SoulOfKhaos]

It's going to be great and satisfying to see my global smash power! >=)

 

[BunnyBoy1337]

Did anyone expect anything less? It has freakin' Mario, Sonic, Pac-Man, AND Mega Man in THE SAME GAME!!!
