Super Smash Bros. Ultimate ships 12.08 million units in 24 days, fastest selling Nintendo home console game ever

[Deleted member 278]

The previous record holder is New Super Mario Bros. Wii at 10.55 million, which had a month and a half worth of sales. It also already outsold every Smash game outside of Brawl at 13.29 million. And all In just 23 days!

So well deserved!!!!!

 

[ASaiyan]

Thought that number was a date at first glance, lol.

Smash is unstoppable.

 

[Sire Yoshi]

Niche title

 

[Sandfox]

12 million in less than a month is ridiculous.

 

[Tribal_Cult]

Switch's Mario Kart Wii. 30 million lifetime suddenly seems actually possible with good DLC coming in the coming years.

Holy fuck lol

 

[Lotus]

[Tricky I Shadow]

Wow...

 

[sfortunato]

20m units are locked at this point.

 

[Linde]

Holy fuck.
That's way sooner than I would have ever expected

Calling it a monster is selling it short.

 

[ClickyCal']

Ridley and K.rool making it rain for Nintendo.

 

[Zarckoh]

This looked like the highest Nintendo opening ever based on preorders but still impressive to see.

 

[Viceratops]

Very much deserved. Just shows what a monster Switch and Nintendo IP are.

 

[JJConrad]

The Japanese report has released. The English is not up yet.
Pokemon Let's Go is at 10 million and Mario Kart 8 is now over 15 million.

 

[srtrestre]

The power of Isabelle

 

[ShinobiBk]

Where is that LTD prediction thread.
I can't remember if I went for 15 or 20.
15 is easy money. 20 is very possible. Even 30 could happen if they support it for the next few years

 

[Datajoy]

Super Niche Bros.

 

[Zedark]

Pretty big lol. The signs were on the wall for this,though.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Holy Shit.
Crazy numbers for an exclusive on a plattform that hasn't been out for two years .....

 

[Brat-Sampson]

And does this even include digital?

This game is a damn monster.

 

[Unknownlight]

And there's been another whole month of sales since that number! That's only up to Dec 31.

 

[PlayBee]

What the fuck, it sold 90% of Brawl's total in under a month.

 

[Anth0ny]

hooooooooooooly shit

it's gonna annihilate brawl in 2 months

AND IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF K ROOL

 

[Deleted member 2791]

This is just batshit insane.

 

[madstarr12]

That's pretty good. Excellent sales!

Wonder what the Sell-through numbers are though.

 

[patientzero]

Obviously, software and hardware are very different things, but, on a lark I looked up the numbers. In less than a couple months Smash Bros. shipped only 1.5 million less than the Wii U's entire sales.

 

[Dwebble]

That's bonkers.

 

[Sander VF]

Hey hey remember when people seriously touted Brawl as this unassailable milestone?

BUT IT WAS ON THE WII

Switch software sales don't give a crap. I hope this is finally the point where everybody gets it and we don't have to sit through the same arguments with Animal Crossing and Pokemon Gen 8.

 

[Unknownlight]

And does this even include digital?

This game is a damn monster.

Click to shrink...

Yes, this includes digital.

 

[Kaitos]

WOW

 

[Brat-Sampson]

Yes, this includes digital.

Click to shrink...

Ok, cool. Still...

 

[Starphanluke]

Holy shit. Pokemon shipped 10 million? I thought everyone acted like that game underperformed?

 

[RochHoch]

Holy fucking shit

I wonder if a second DLC pass isn't out of the realm of possibility now.

 

[Unknownlight]

Obviously, software and hardware are very different things, but, on a lark I looked up the numbers. In less than a couple months Smash Bros. shipped only 1.5 million less than the Wii U's entire sales.

Click to shrink...

You mean in 3 weeks. This only goes up to Dec 31.

 

[Uncle at Nintendo]

GOKU will push this game past Wii Fit numbers.

 

[Sander VF]

Ok, cool. Still...

Click to shrink...

On the other hand, this number doesn't count sales since December 31.

 

[Trago]

NEVER.
DOUBT.
THAT.
SMASH.
IS.
A.
SYSTEM.
SELLER.

 

[Fahdi]

Not shitting on anyone's happy parade but outside of BOW, Pokemon and SMO this would have sold gangbusters due to what is offered in retail exclusives on the Switch. Not surprised at all.

 

[kowalski]

Holy...!!
This is unbelievable!

Oh, damn, I just assumed to date. That's that much crazier.
