Brawl Breaks Nintendo Record

Everyone knew Super Smash Bros. Brawl was destined to be a big hit, which is why it should come as no surprise to find that the title has officially been confirmed to be Nintendo of America’s fastest-selling video game. More than 874,000 copies were sold on March 9, the game’s launch date. As of this Monday morning, more than 1.4 million units have been sold.

The series’ previous installment, Super Smash Bros. Melee for the GameCube, was the system’s best-selling title and could have been an even bigger hit had anyone actually owned the console it played on.

Despite rumblings that Brawl may be the final installment in the Smash Bros. series, these sales numbers make it almost painfully obvious that this is probably not the case. If there is one thing Nintendo knows how to do, it is milk a cash cow for all it’s worth, and Smash Bros. is mooing pretty loudly.

Expect a full review of the record-breaking Super Smash Bros. Brawl very soon.

P.S. Sorry this post is so short, but my game’s on pause.
