Good start in the US but to be expected somewhat because Zelda fans are early adopters. The key will be where sales are at in a month or so once most of the Zelda fanbase has beaten BotW and scalpers are (hopefully) out of the picture too and there's more regular supply.

If it's better than other Nintendo systems, then that's the impressive metric. Million day one launches for consoles aren't going to be a regular thing. It's doing good in the US for now, in March at that. 

Please explain... why won't they be a regular thing? PS4 did it, XB1 did it.... and both did better than their previous console launches, which did better than their previous console launces..... so what metric other than nintendo not doing it do you have to suggest that it wouldn't be a normal thing.

And this march nonsense again...... ok, lets just settle it. Are you aware that the PS2 relead on march 4th  in japan? And sold over 900k consols (980k to be exact) by march 5th. 24hrs after launch? In just one market.

So what exactly are you trying to say?

It's nice of you to compare the PS2 to the Switch. Hopefully with your blessing the Switch will sell as well as it.

This is good news not only because it sold so well, but because Nintendo is selling the Switch at a profit along with the profit of the Software. So I know a lot of people want Switch to be the end of Nintendo but...that's not happening anytime soon.

The switch sellong well at launch is a pretty widely accepted notion.

Maybe on Vgchartz...Youtube and gaf...different story.

As far as I know, Latamel (the official Nintendo's distributor in Mexico) sold its 20,000 Switch units that shipped to Mexican retails (and online retails like Amazon Mexico, Linio, Best Buy, Walmart, etc.) even when the price was USD$475, give it or take, here so it's a solid number, Let's see how the market goes after the "hype" is dead and when, hopefully, the price drops because of the Mexican Peso gaining momentum...

So Wii sold 600,000 in 8 days. So I'd say less than 400,000 in 2 days?

So if Switch sold more than Wii for the first 2 launch days. Switch sold more than 400,000

Not that impressive. Ps4 1million sold day 1. We all knew Switch was going to sell well right off the gun.

The PS4 set a record at launch. It shouldn't be the metric all other launches are judged by.

.....?Xboxone also sold 1million day 1...

I believe the PS4 sold 1 million day 1 in the US while the XB1 sold 1 million day 1 worldwide.
