ssbb.jpgNot that anyone’s surprised, but Nintendo’s recently released Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the Wii has breezed right past the 1.4 million sales mark in one single week since its release in the US. Joystiq reports that Nintendo’s press release says 874,000 of those sales happened on release day. Wow. This reportedly makes it the “fastest-selling video game in Nintendo of America’s history.” As Joystiq says, Nintendo claims to have sold “at a rate of more than 120 units per minute between launch and March 16.” Assuming they mean the entirety of March 16 (i.e. the first eight days), that amounts to 8 days * 24 hours/day * 60 minutes/day * 120 units/minute = 1,382,400 units.

I still don’t have a copy because the guy at EB Games hates me.
