After just one week on store shelves, Super Smash Bros. Brawl for Wii has become the fastest-selling video game in Nintendo of America's history.
Since its launch on March 9, the game has sold more than 1.4 million units in the United States, including more than 874,000 on March 9 alone. It has sold at a rate of more than 120 units per minute between launch and March 16.
"Super Smash Bros. Brawl has made the leap from video game to cultural phenomenon," said Cammie Dunaway of Nintendo of America. "Game reviewers and the public alike praise its fun game play and extensive, inventive content."
Super Smash Bros. Brawl features dozens of classic Nintendo characters like Mario and Pikachu along with industry icons like Sonic The Hedgehog and Metal Gear's
Solid Snake.
The previous game in the series, Super Smash Bros. Melee, became the best-selling Nintendo GameCube game of all time with more than 7 million copies sold worldwide, so it's no surprise to see this latest installment racking up record numbers.
