Brawling with lag?

Super Smash Brothers Brawl is Nintendo's latest big hit, with an impressive 874,000 units sold on the first day, nearly being able to match Halo 3's astonishing figure of units sold on release. This has caused Nintendo a slight problem they didn't expect.

Nintendo has announced that Super Smash Bros Brawl's lag problem with online play is down to 'Pipeline strain', with excessive amounts of players trying to play online at the same time. They also stated that since the release date, the problems have improved slightly, and they are working hard on fixing the problem in its entirety.
