Since launching on March 9th in the US and a week later, the game has flown off the shelves selling more than 1.4 million units. Up until March 16th Brawl has seen around 120 copies sold a minute.

It's important to remember, that we have lots more fun on the way: Upcoming titles like Mario Kart Wii and Wii Fit

That's a lot of Brawls. Was there even any advertising for this game?

Amazing sales estimate and totally believable, they would sell a lot more if you were able to actually find a Wii in the US. I hear from friends that it was very hard to find one a week prior to launch and I imagine it's a lot worse now. Nintendo really do need to replenish stocks well to keep the momentum going for all the upcoming releases.
Chinese guys, it's most likely a fake ad.

All Nintendo needs to do now is add more Servers. The online matches in Brawl suffer from sever lag.

Hmm...I've only seen lag in one online match (out of, oh, 50-60 matches). I don't have anything fancy (just middle of the road ASDL).
I've only played anonymous match-ups, and the match making software seems to be very good at finding opponents with low ping times (although it does take quite a while to find them sometimes, and sometimes I've gone 1 or 2 matches in a row with a CPU player filling in the 4th player).
I suspect that if you're having lag it's probably one of the players' connections that's the issue. Make sure you aren't downloading stuff over the same connection (i.e., you should stop your Torrent downloads on your PC while playing...that really does cause a lot of lag). And if you're playing with friends, make sure they've stopped their downloads too

Defo a possible Halo 3 beater. Melee was one of last gen's biggest games after all.
So could this possibly lead Nintendo to believe that Hardcore games still sell the most?
*Wii Fit does twice as well in half the time*
Bugger.
One day I will be a real life anime.

I don't recall even seeing a commercial for this game. Then again, the only thing I've been doing lately is taking finals and playing Brawl .
I'm guessing every was expecting the game to sell well, but I didn't foresee it being this big. It's good to know that Nintendo fanatics can keep up with those Halo fans.
