Super Smash Bros for Nintendo 3DS Reaches One Million Units Sold

Written by Brandon Hofer on November 14, 2014

News: Nintendo has revealed that Super Smash Bros for Nintendo 3DS is the tenth 3DS game to reach over one million units sold.

Nintendo has revealed that Super Smash Bros for Nintendo 3DS has become the 10th Nintendo 3DS games to sell one million units. Despite only being on the market for a little more than a month, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS has already sold 1.2 million combined physical and digital units in the U.S alone. The game sold more than 485,000 total units in October to become the 10th Nintendo 3DS title to sell at least 1 million units in the U.S. The Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS game is the best-selling hand-held title so far in 2014, but will face a stiff challenge to hold onto that title when the next great Pokémon adventures –Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire – arrive on Nov. 21.

Wii U also continues to have a strong year. Through the first 10 months of 2014, total sales of Wii U hardware and software have increased by 47 percent and 84 percent, respectively, over the same period in 2013. Those numbers will most likely grow as Super Smash Bros comes out for the Wii U on November 21.

For those who are curious, the full list of 3DS sales that have hit the million mark include:

Mario Kart 7 - 3.62 million

Super Mario 3D Land - 3.34 million

New Super Mario Bros. 2 - 2.33 million

Pokemon X - 2.11 million

Pokemon Y - 2.03 million
