Super Smash Bros. 3DS sells 2.8 million units worldwide

Strong start to the holiday season

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS is off to a strong start in all major markets, selling more than 2.8 million copies worldwide, Nintendo announced today. As the first-ever portable installment of the popular mascot brawler, it's nice to see it off to a good start.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS is already in the hands of more than 2.8 million people worldwide, and the road ahead looks great,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing.

“Nintendo’s holiday software lineup is more than impressive, and our amiibo figures start a new chapter in the world of Nintendo interactive entertainment. With so many great experiences available, this holiday season is going to be an amazing time to be a Nintendo fan.”

Looking ahead, Nintendo hopes to build on this success, with the release of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, coming November 21.
