I was pretty blown away last week at the massive sales we saw on the new Wii game, Super Smash Bros Brawl (SSBB). I mean, we all knew it was coming, but wow! I love when a good game rocks the community as this one did, quickly becoming the fastest selling game in Nintendo’s history. We’ve seen some amazing movement over the last two weeks with 655 games selling at an average of around $40 on eBay*, that’s about $10 less than the retail price! Pretty rad, huh? I also saw this game’s popularity spur movement for the SSBB guide book, the SSBB console skin and SSBB tees. I look at all of this as further proof that the Wii is going to be at the top of many holiday wish lists along with other top selling titles like Super Mario Galaxy, Mario Party, and Guitar Hero III. And, of course, let’s not leave out the fast moving accessories likeWii Fit, sparring gloves and Action Pack Controllers! This is a fun trend to watch!
