According to a Media Create report, Super Smash Bros. sold 109,811 copies in its third week in Japan. While the game moved 321,363 units in the week prior, there’s a logical explanation for the sales decline.
Media Create says in its latest report that Smash Bros. 3DS is suffering from stock shortages. Had more units been available, the title could have sold more.
Total sales for Smash Bros. 3DS currently sit at 1.37 million copies.

Sakurai on why Smash Bros. 3DS doesn’t support the Circle Pad Pro
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 33 Comments
Super Smash Bros. for 3DS will make use of the New 3DS’ c-stick. However, there is no support for the Circle Pad Pro, which works with regular 3DS systems.
Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai explained why this is so in his latest bi-weekly Famitsu column. He noted:
“Supporting the CCP requires the use of some of the CPU’s processing load. From the information received during the development of Kid Icarus: Uprising, this is a quite large load at around 5%. Kid Icarus: Uprising and Smash both use the maximum capability of the device, so we had to abandon the idea of CCP support. With the New 3DS, we were able to support the C-Stick as the processing power is increased and it is not a peripheral device.”
