The thing is Thursday before Black Friday to the end of Cyber Monday been 5 days Is for sure a bigger sales period than the 800k that was done Sunday before to the Saturday after to the extent that the Sunday-Wednesday of the Wii tracking likely accounts for very little of the Wii's 800K, When you combine this along with knowing it's up 115% from the same 5 days in 2017 it already takes it above 800k for the same 5 day period. That you can't ignore.

Well, you can think that the sales are better in that period, or people like me think that were worse back in 2008, we can't know for sure. But i will buy your point. How do you explain then Switch selling 900k according to the total sales of Nintendo PR at 8'2 and the number of total sales from NPD leaks until November being 7'3M, if Switch, only in a week sold 800k??

I sincerely want to know. I will be glad to read a good explanation why Nintendo is giving a wrong number then.

Like you said earlier the NPD could be off by a few 100k's for end of October and it was actually  at 7.1-.7.2m which would add up to 1-1.1m by Cyber Monday and meet the 8.2m sales, The other is that Nintendo PR team lowballed it as "More than 8.2m" to protect themselves incase they give out a number that is a little more than it actually sold, The could of thought it was at 8.4m but actual numbers could be 8.36m and the "more than 8.2m" statement covers them to not giving out false sales numbers.
