Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has made a strong debut, with some reports indicating it has sold over 1.2 million units in Japan and 5 million globally in its first week. The game's release has also boosted sales of the Nintendo Switch, with one report noting that 278,000 units were sold in Japan last week and 52,000 Switch 2 consoles were sold. The success of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has led to it being considered the fastest selling Nintendo Switch game, although another game, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, is reportedly the fastest selling Nintendo game in history.
