Due to Nintendo's inability to provide a solid fix for online play, A LOT of people just gave up on BRAW. Most people can't connect with anyone when trying to find people to play, so they basically are just letting BRAW collect dust.
""Take Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It was one the most hotly anticipated video games of the year; it sold more than 1.4 million copies during the first week of its release, in early March, and broke records for Nintendo of America.
But sales dropped more than 90 percent over the first four weeks ... Some major retail chains including Wal-Mart and Toys R Us have already begun bundling the Smash Bros. game with Wii machines for sales online, a sign that the base of hard-core gamers who went looking for the game has been depleted.
"We sold a couple thousand copies in the first week," said Xavier Pervez, assistant manager at a GameStop in Fairfield, Conn. "Its dropped off significantly now, maybe 100 in each of the last couple weeks." ""
