[Businesswire] NoA PR - Nintendo Switch Achieves Its Best Week of Sales Ever in the U.S. (Nintendo Switch Sold More Than 830,000 Units)
- Thread starter Hero
- Start date
DS did but that console is the second best selling console of all time. The Wii never managed to break 800k once
Wii sold 3.81 million units in the US in December, 2009. No one's ever topping it.
I'm not even sure. Anecdotal of course (and not the same market) but at my local supermarket, there wasn't any og switches left, but there were a lot of of lite models on the shelves...
But don't worry, according to a lot of people in the other sales thread, it's only going to sell another 25 million lifetime after the holidays and end up at 75 million, same as the 3DS.
Oh ok, I had to reread that too. Do we even have a ranking of the best BF sales ever for consoles?
Also, Pokemon is already at 3 million, lol
Word of mouth seems to be exceptionally strong for this one.

How much were you expecting?
It's the best week ever for Switch and surpassed Wii sales during BF.
Just in the US for real? That number is insane. What was WW total for the month?

What the fuck, so it did outdo the Wii in BF sales after all?
No idea, sorry :(
DS did 3.31 million in the US the same month. December, 2009 was Nintendo's strongest month in US history.
That is quite good. Though I'm curious to learn just how many Switches were sold in the Americas in the weeks leading up to the big one. Most consumers here know to wait it out a bit in November in order to snag great deals if possible.
Wii Thanksgiving week sales----
Not beating the DS is nothing to be ashamed of, and beating the Wii's best BF week is hugely impressive. Puts into perspective how incredibly strong this performance is.
Ah, you beat me to it. Yeah, so as we can surmise, the Switch had a better Black Friday week than the Wii has ever had. I don't think it will beat that insane 2M November that Wii had in 2008, but it should be well above the Wii's second best November (in fact, it was above that already last year at 1365k roughly).DS did but that console is the second best selling console of all time.

It's like double dash, but everyone gets four items instead of two
According to at least one insider, pre-BF November Switch sales were up significantly YoY.
I believe the Wii sold over 3 million one year in December.
Thanks for this. I forgot it was closer to 4 million. It was also the same year NSMB Wii launched.
Black Friday ads were out early November. If people were on the lookout for deals, they would see that there were none for Switch. I expect big numbers for the rest of the month as well, especially with Pokemon and the specific Lite model earlier in the month.
I'm confused
Edit: nevermind, December. So it did best Wii in nov :o
Zedark is speaking of November sales records. Nintendo almost always performs stronger in December.
Yeah just edited my post.
so it did have best BF of any Nintendo home console, that's really impressive
It did beat Wii on any BF week, but November is tricky. That 2M number is very hard to beat. But Switch has Pokémon, so all bets are off. But I'm thinking more like 1.5M rather than 2M.
Switch could get closer to it by next year.
But yeah thats a crazy record lol.
Jesus Christ. That's crazy. I always forget how insane the Wii numbers were.
In what way? You have to remember that the Wii got so high in large part thanks to NSMB Wii. Which was a sell monster.
I know i was around that time - just saying that we should and wait and see how Switch performs once Nintendo drops the price and is a bit more aggressive with the pricing - which will only start next year.
Not a chance, even with Smash launch Switch didn't even get to 2 million, now with Pokémon and Lite's first holiday it most likely will but not as far as 3 million much less almost 4 and i can't imagine something next year that'll be bigger than Pokémon or even Smash.
