While we'll have to wait for next month's NPD numbers to know for sure, it seems to be a very safe assumption that Brawl will be the best-selling game of the month. It is already the fastest-selling game in Nintendo of America's history.
"Super Smash Bros. Brawl has made the leap from video game to cultural phenomenon," said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. "Game reviewers and the public alike praise its fun game play and extensive, inventive content."
Super Smash Bros. Melee, the last game in the series, sold more than 7 million copies worldwide—a record Brawl is already well on its way to breaking. Nintendo hits another release well out of the park. Be sure to check out our review of the game, if you haven't already.
Spoiler Warning: We really liked it.
