It only launched in NA that week. Europe was two weeks later and Japan was like 3 months later.

And alone it was, It didn't launch anywhere other than North America that week.



Consoles lives can be pretty darn interesting.

The PS2 was like Metallica, which toured forever, was a huge success, but never had a number one single.

The Wii is like the Spice Girls, which lasted only a few years but was at the top of the world during that time and broke a lot of records.

Interesting tidbits I discovered while compiling the lists;

The PSP/Vita/WiiU never sold a million in a single week
The PS3 only had 2 weeks with sales above a million.
Nintendo has the most consoles to sell over 1 million in a week (Wii/DS/3DS/Switch)

Not only that, the Wii U was never able to get the top spot in the hardware charts, the best position they got was a distant second place the day MK8 was released.

The Nintendo DS is a special machine.



                            

So in a very technical way, the Switch had the biggest launch of all time?



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

Top ten is insane with 9 of them being the Wii. Never got into that system, but cannot deny the sensation it was for a few years.



Ps4 sold over 2m on black friday so VGC is wrong.

Switch will sell insanely well this holidays!



Wow Wii, talk about kicking a** and taking numbers. That's some serious hustle right there.
