Nintendo has reportedly sold 1.08 million units of
Super Smash Bros. Brawl, known in Japan as
Dairantou Smash Brothers X, in the 11 days since its Japanese release on January 31st.
Citing a game magazine publisher, Reuters
reported that
Brawl reached 1 million units sold faster than any other Wii title. According to Enterbrain,
Wii Fit reached this milestone in seven weeks, while
Wii Sports took 11 weeks in Japan.
Data from Media Create
shows that Brawl sold 820,000 units in only its first two days, a pace generally reserved for blockbuster Japanese franchises such as
Pokemon, Dragon Quest and
Final Fantasy.
The title is also highly anticipated in North America, where it will release on March 9th. It has
regularly occupied a spot among the top five Wii titles on the weekly GameFly charts, which show the most desirable game rentals from the service, during every week since January 8th.
