REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Over Thanksgiving week (Nov. 24 to Nov. 30), the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite systems sold a combined total of more than 830,000 units in the U.S., according to internal data. This ranks as the single best week of U.S. sales in Nintendo Switch history. These results were bolstered in part by the recently introduced Nintendo Switch Lite system and a variety of Black Friday offers, such as a Nintendo Switch bundle that included a full game download of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe game at no additional charge. Total sales of Nintendo Switch in the Americas have reached 17.5 million units.

Bundle me with last year's SKU and no price drop if old.

Update on Pokemon and evergreens:

In addition to hardware, Nintendo Switch software also sold well over Thanksgiving week. In only a few weeks since launch, the Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield games have now sold a combined total of more than 3 million in the Americas. Other Nintendo Switch games also passed new life-to-date sales milestones in the Americas, including Mario Kart 8 Deluxe at 8.5 million, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate at 8 million, Super Mario Odyssey at 6.5 million and New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe at 1.5 million.*

I said damn.

Congrats, Nintendo!

 

[pokéfan]

Wow, Switch is on fire

 

[marc^o^]

More than Wii at its peak?

 

[schuelma]

Impressive with no really insane black friday deals. I think Nintendo is going to ship 20M this fiscal year (its up 1M YoY in Japan).

 

[ShinUltramanJ]

Congrats Nintendo! That's a hell of a week!

 

[ffdgh]

Damn. Good for them.

MK8D and SSBU wow!

BOTW not mentioned but should be around 7M

 

[Abicus]

Mario Kart 8 will never be stopped.

 

[Marufuku]

 

[Vylder]

Didn't the Wii do over 1M units back then??

 

[Crono]

I read the title as "Best week in Nintendo history" too. But Wii Holiday 2008 is untouchable. Best Holiday sales ever.

 

[Oregano]

That seems good?

 

[NateDrake]

The sales are best week of U.S. sales in Nintendo Switch history. Not Nintendo history - so Wii still outperformed it.

Impressive sales of Switch in that week and the software figures for Mario Kart and Smash are insane. Pokemon is doing well.

 

[Lulu]

Seeshh

 

[mikehaggar]

830K in a week is crazy, right? Like... that would be a good numbers for ALL of November unless I'm mistaken..?

 

[marc^o^]

I see, Wii topped that.
EDIT: actually no.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

Great sales for Nintendo .

 

[m051293]

Also 830K is best week ever for Switch.

Super Saturday week is usually > Black Friday I believe for Nintendo systems, so December is going to be massive.

 

[Couscous]

Is that more than the Wii, PS2 and PS4 peaks?

 

[Deleted member 51691]

Mario Kart 8 will never be stopped.

2023: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Deluxe will launch with the Nintendo Switch 2

 

[Bomblord]

That's console launch week sales holy crap and that's without a sale. The Switch lite must be making a huge difference.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Here i thought plattforms werent important anymore - congrats Nintendo.
Deserved since they built up that lineup quite nice since Summer and refreshed their hardware lineup in September. Perfect Storm.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the Wii sell over 3 million in one month?

 

[Zedark]

Hot damn, Smash is at 8M already (5M at the start of the year). What a crazy number!

830k units sounds pretty good, with Pokémon releasing the week before, those weeks should've been pretty huge as well.

Crazy first party sales numbers all around, of course.

 

[marc^o^]

Ring Fit Adventure is worth the entry price, this game is phenomenal. Weird Nintendo is best Nintendo.

 

[Herb Alpert]

I expected good numbers.
But not that good.

 

[mutantmagnet]

The Switch lite wasn't even on sale that week. It is on sale this week...

 

[KtotheRoc]

I don't think Nintendo is going to complain with numbers like these.

 

[ShinobiBk]

And it should sell more closer to Christmas maybe?

 

[Kingpin Rogers]

Doesn't seem as good as it could have been. How does it compare historically with other consoles?

 

[Richietto]

Lordy! And thats just 6 days out of the month! They have nothing to worry about next year if they can get BotW2 out holiday 2020.

Best week in US for Switches lifetime is fantastic. 830,000 in 6 days is great.

 

[Kouriozan]

That's a lot of Switches, wow.

 

[Earthed]

I got one. Loving it.

 

[Deleted member 32106]

You can't stop MK8D!

 

[srtrestre]

Here we go, off the rails
Did you know, it's time to raise our sales?
It's billion$ like you never knew

No, no, yes? I think?

Haha!

 

[cw_sasuke]

The impressive thing is - Wii did this numbers while being much cheaper than other systems....Switch - at least the OG one is as expensive as the other systems if not more, especially during Black Friday.

Makes me wonder what they could achieve next year when they drop the price.

 

[Deleted member 2145]

those software numbers......whew

Not sure about monthly sales but I'm pretty sure I remember the Wii selling like 1M during Black Friday week a few years ago..

 

[Deleted member 56266]

People will be playing Mario Kart 8 Deluxe in 2050.

America Sales Digital/Physical As of Nov 30, 2019

MK8D >8.5M
SSBU >8.0M
SMO >6.5M

As of Oct 16, 2019

BOTW >6.0M (Guessing it's around 7M through Black Friday)

Also notably Cyber Monday is not included in any of today's reported figures (probably because it falls in NPD's Dec tracking period, which they won't report on until it closes).

EDIT: Fixed Header to read "America" instead of "US"
