We’ve shared plenty of news on the sales success of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate during the last couple of days, so let’s add another one to the pile, shall we? Japanese business newspaper Nikkei reports that worldwide sales for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate reached 5 million copies during its first week on the market. This includes both digital and retail copies. This lines up with Famitsu’s report that the game sold 1.2 million copies in Japan alone during its first week, the game becoming the fastest-selling Nintendo home console game of all time in Europe and Nintendo’s report that the game sold 3 million copies in the US in 11 days.

When Super Smash Bros. Ultimate was initially announced, some wondered how closely the game was tied to last-gen’s Wii U iteration. But now that the game has finally launched, it’s clear just how different this new entry is. Digital Foundry has taken a closer look at Ultimate from a technical perspective that shows a substantial upgrade.

The first aspect to consider is lighting, which has been improved in Ultimate. Some parts were left untouched, but textures for building sides were redone. Bridge of Eldin is one stage that shows just how much has been added and changed. Clothing has been revamped as well. One apparent downgrade is Donkey Kong, who has lost his fur shell from the Wii U version. Also, shadow resolution has been reduced.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate managed to sell around 1.2 million copies in its first three days in Japan. Dengeki now provides a bit of extra information on the game’s performance. Sales tracking indicates that Smash Bros. Ultimate sold through 75% of its initial shipment.

Given how the game has sold thus far, Dengeki has Smash Bros. Ultimate selling two million copies before we reach 2019. Year-end sales from Christmas and New Year’s should contribute to steady sales over the next few weeks.
