Brawl sells 800,000 so far

According to Media Create, since its release Super Smash Bros. Brawl has sold 819,647 copies over in Japan. That's 95% of the stock that was available, so it might be hard to find a copy at the moment.

All this places Brawl at #1 in the sales charts. The game was launched a week ago on January 31st, 2008.

Lucky for me I pre-ordered it. Man I can't wait! But until then, I got Melee to keep me company.

Yay, Sonic! Maybe you can finally move out of Sega's headquarters and buy your own house.

Another Sonic not doing well in Japan joke.

Seriously, you got to stop picking on Sonic, if he's in the United States then he should be rich, only in Japan is he poor. Anyway good to hear Brawl is doing very well, they better make lots of copies for the English version or we'll be having another "Not enough Wiis" fiasco.

I knew it would do well, I know this is sad, but I brag to all my friends about my preorder and show it to them all the time. Wow I'm a sad person.

Glad I preordered it just like many of you. Although I preordered it pretty late, that kind of sucks.

My preorder was put in on 2/5. Gamestop says I'm like 250th of 400 in the cue just at the one in Flemington, NJ in the US. Just think, if there are like 400 locations in the US, then there are probably over 160000 preorders in the US alone, and even that sounds a little low.

Oh my god, so glad I pre-ordered this. I don't want to end up SSBBless on the day it comes out (day before march break, yes a whole week of kick ass fun).

Sonic hasn't been in a good game in a while. Super Smash Bros welcomes you with open arms! My Brawl main will be Wolf.

lol at pic, awesome sales, and it's a good thing I preordered mine the first day my EB Games (now GameStop) had it available.

Wii Freak said:

Well melee sold 358,525 in week. Every smash bros game sold better than the last.

Diddy Kong Lover said:

If it wasn't for Diddy Kong I probably wouldn't play it. He'll be my main brawler.

Ssbb would be the best game, if it only had Roy, not Marth. Ike is alright but I don't like his regular special that much.

For the months and months of spoilers and hype, I was expecting a cool million in JP. It makes me question whether Sakurai's marketing approach was as effective as he hoped. I'm sure that it will sell 1M in the US. What do hedgehogs eat anyway?

You better sleep ouside the nearest game store. Once brawl hits the shelf, BAM! It's already gone in a blink of an eye.

YoshLee said:

Yea hopefully that means the people ahead of me on the list will get brawl very fast too.

Frogman said:

Lol "sonic's eating FOOD tonight". I guess this means that he was previously eating garbage, paper, and dirt. Now if only Sonic could afford a house.

CATSKINS said:

It's all good, I've preordered it, wahoo.

Sonic doesn't realise he's actually on fire in that pic though.

I'm still disappointed that they didn't leave Roy in there. All they had to do is change some of his moves so that he's not a 'Marth' clone anymore. Not to mention his game saved the Fire Emblem market.
