[QUOTE="blingchu55"]honestly, you cant trust japanese sales anymore. The only real way to compare sales is america vs america(halo wise of course)mis3ry
Not every game's sales has to be compared to Halo. Brawl is selling exceptionally well. That's all there is to it.
Allready a million seller and it's not even released outside of japan.

Thats really not as impressive as you think it is, considering there society is totally different than ours. In japan the MAJORIT of the sales for ANY game come in the first week. This also occurs with bigger titles like Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy and Resident Evil.
Honestly, I would not be surprised if this becomes the #1 Wii Game (in sales), within a year. This is not counting Wii Sports. And I guess you could count Wii Play, even though that hardly is a game.
It'll be interesting to see how it stacks in the first week to America. I mean, a good portion of the Wiis sold are from America. Wouldn't be surprised if it broke 1 million in a few days.

It's hit 1 million faster than any other wii game in Japan.

Thats great news, but this is not shocking at all if you simply look at the japanese sales trends for games. This is definately still impressive though.

Your simply wrong on that one. Go look at the top Japanese sales charts again. There are games on there that are years old. Heck I don't think Wii Sports has dropped out of the top 20 since the Wii was released. I'm pretty sure that Brain Aga is still on the charts and it's been out forever and a day.

That's not really true. Look at WiiSports or WiiPlay. After 63 weeks on the market - they're both still in the Top 10 weekly. Look at games like New Super Mario Bros. It sold 900,000 copies in its first week (compared to 820,000 copies of SSBB) - and it has gone on to sell more than 5 million copies in Japan alone.
it's impressive, but this is probably nintendo Wii's biggest game in it's whole lifespan not just 08.

Some would say that Halo 3 will be the biggest game on the 360. I don't see how that's a negative. On another note, Mario Kart Wii will also sell a bajillion copies - not to mention, Animal Crossing Wii or a Nintendogs-esque Wii title.
There is nothing wrong with that, halo 3 is also most likely 360s biggest game its whole lifespan as well ur right, im just saying it will be it's biggest game it's life span, im not really to sure what ps3s biggest game it's lifespan will be yet, probably final fantasy 13 in japan anyway.

Impressive if you ask me. I don't know where the sales snobs are coming from, but whether you're comparing it to another game *cough*Halo3*cough* or not, 1 million sales in such a short time in only one region is pretty good news. If I was a developer and my game sold more than a million copies regardless of the situation, I'd be pretty pleased.
people don't understand how impressive these kind of sales are for japan.
it has outsold the top 3 best selling ps3 games put together, and has almost caught up to melee's lifetime sales, meaning that its sold better than every other gamecube game ever released in japan......all in just 10 days :o
