2008 Wii numbers
"For the Thanksgiving week, Wii sold an astonishing 800,000 units more than double what is sold in 2007. "

Considering the fact that PS4 and XB1 had wayyyy more sales, this is a very impressive feat. Switch is heading for a huge November and I can't imagine how huge the December will be.

No, no no and no. Nintendo PR doing their work misinforming people.....oggh. Thanksgiving week for Wii back in 2008 was Monday to Friday (black friday). This 115% record from last year is from Thursday to Cyber Monday and it could be 100k or 200k last year in that period, we don't really know. Yes, some big sales too, but not as big as Monday to Friday week for Black Friday. That comparison with 800k from Wii in 2008 is incorrect.

You do realise most of the sales happen on Black Friday day? I think it's quite comparable
