No worries, you weren't technically wrong.
Yes, Brawl's ~7 years Vs. 2 days of sales in 1 territory.
LMAO this

Yea a pretty ridiculous thing to bring up..not to mention Wii's install base was crazy everywhere. Also this a Smash for 3DS not Wii U.No worries, you weren't technically wrong.

Yeah, portable Smash will definitely be a thing every generation after this.

But it's got such a long way to go! Why can't it outsell it faster?

Look, all I meant by bringing that up was to say it had a long way to go.
I apologise if that was construed like I was belittling the sales. Don't get me wrong, the sales are great. They just have a long way to go.
Isn't the easiest comparison Smash4's first week sales to Brawl's first week sales? Thst would be the earliest confirmed numbers we'll have and Smash4 will definitely be ahead by a good margin.All right, then let's have a more like-to-like comparison.
Brawl shipped 1.31 million units from January 31st, 2008 through March 31st, 2008 in Japan, and 3.24 million units from March 9th, 2008 through March 31st, 2008 in The Americas.
That leaves a total of 4.85 million units as of March 31st, 2008.
It's not launch sales, but it is the earliest metric we have we have.
Smash Bros. 3DS, at >1 million first week, seems to be outpacing it. Let's wait for USA sales though before making that determination.
Does this make it the highest selling BN game? At least by selling speed/rate? Trying to think of similar or better ones. Maybe a classic Pac-Man game? I mean how many of their games ever do 1 Million in a couple of days?
I wasn't trying to be antagonistic (I like your second post), but it seemed a rather odd (?) thing to bring up is all. Not that you were belittling the sales, but just that the comment was odd. Or maybe obvious is the better word. Like, 'Of course there's still a long way to go, the game's only been out 2 days'.

I think Aquamarine is gunning for a job at Polygon. It'll be easy since Pac-man is in this game.
Sorry, it's late and I just wanted to put something out quickly. It was the first metric I found, so I went with it.
Sorry.
Can't believe people are getting angry because AquaMarine (does anyone read sales threads?) made a quick sales comparison.
Stop being so defensive for no reason.
Yeah, it's generally a lot. Especially when it's only for two days, and only for Japan.so i'm not very knowledgable in game sales but is "1m sold" in the first week a lot in the gaming industry?
i would take it to be a lot since it's in japan but is it a lot for the japanese market? i would imagine the US/Europe having similar numbers.

Ok they DEFINITELY need to offer something people can't turn down for the Wii U version in Japan, otherwise people there may very well be content with this version (Japan is a handheld country).
Hint: If both versions have the same roster, why buy the Wii U version?please sakurai
I don't think this problem will exist in the west but it very well could in Japan.
Image what a worldwide launch would have done. When is Nintendo going the get over giving Japan special treatment all the time? *plays his demo angrily in the corner*

So what are the bets on 3ds Smash vs WiiU Smash. We thinking 3DS Smash will outsell it due to bigger install base or WiiU because more folks will feel that is the definitive version?
This is probably gonna be the most double dipped game of all time.
