And also the pricecut which I believe was just before both those titles released.

Price cut was August. Games released in November/December. It helped, but sales still weren't amazing until the holidays. Price cut was actually after Zelda remake came out, showing how little Zelda helped.
It's hard to know how good these numbers are. Compared to the WiiU, it's a great launch. Double the sales and with a March release. When considering it's meant to represent the merging of Nintendo's home and handheld markets though, it seems very underwhelming.
Still, this is just the UK. We need global numbers before we can get a firm idea of how its launch weekend has been.
So debuts lower then the 3DS. Also that ps4 number is massive. Nothing will come close until the ps5!
Imagine if Zelda wasn't a launch title. imo these numbers are ok at best, we will find out in the coming months
Not a good number considering it launched with Zelda.

I'm not sure if we're seeing different things here.

You: People rushed out to get a 3DS after Zelda released.
Me: It only had a 20k boost from the previous week.
You: It sold consistently well after that.
Me: Sales went back down to pre-Zelda sales after a few weeks.
Both of your previous statements were incorrect.

He should have included August 6th as well (36k)
Basically the 6 weeks prior to Zelda launching in EU/JPN the average sales per week was around 77k.
The average per week for the 6 weeks after the Zelda Launch (in USA) was around 73k.
He's right, OoT: 3D's release really didn't mark the turning point of the 3DS.
