Brawl verkoopt fantastisch

NoA's nieuwste blockbuster breekt records. Voor ons Europeanen is dit eigenlijk alleen maar vervelend nieuws. Super Smash Bros. Brawl is namelijk in Amerika Nintendo's snelst verkopende game geworden. Sinds de release van 9 maart zijn er namelijk al 1.400.000 exemplaren verkocht en we zijn momenteel net iets meer dan een week verder. Nóg meer mensen dus die Brawl hebben en wij moeten er misschien nog wel een half jaar op wachten! Hoewel we ons als Europeanen wel wat achtergesteld voelen is dit uiteraard zéér goed nieuws voor Nintendo. Nintendo of America heeft daarom ook een persbericht vrijgegeven over de verkoop van Brawl. [QUOTE] REDMOND, Wash., March 17, 2008 – After just one week on store shelves, Super Smash Bros.® Brawl for Wii has become the fastest-selling video game in Nintendo of America’s history. Since its launch on March 9, the feature-packed fighting action game has sold more than 1.4 million units in the United States, including more than 874,000 on March 9 alone. It has sold at a rate of more than 120 units per minute between launch and March 16. “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. Brawl features a nearly limitless variety of options for players. Dozens of classic Nintendo characters like Mario™ and Pikachu® are joined by industry icons like Sonic The Hedgehog™ and Metal Gear’s Solid Snake for all-out four-player battles. The endless customization keeps players coming back for more. The previous game in the series, Super Smash Bros.® Melee, became the best-selling Nintendo GameCube™ game of all time with more than 7 million copies sold worldwide, so it’s no surprise to see this latest installment racking up record numbers. “It’s important to remember,” Dunaway said, “that we have lots more fun on the way: Upcoming titles like Mario Kart® Wii and Wii Fit™ will keep our momentum going strong.” Mario Kart Wii launches April 27 with the Wii Wheel™, which lets players drive their speedy karts with the intuitive feel of a wireless steering wheel. It’s another “bridge” game like Wii Sports™ that lets video game novices and veterans play and have fun together. Wii Fit arrives May 19 with the Wii Balance Board™ to combine fun and fitness. It lets users track their progress over time, and it’s an easy way for every member of the family to keep active and play together. Remember that Wii features parental controls that let adults manage the content their children can access. For more information about this and other Wii features, visit Wii.com.
