Nintendo typically has its highest weeks in December rather than Black Friday, right?

Correct. Since Japan has their biggest week leading up to Christmas, it impacts Nintendo greater.

Thanks; this will be a shirt-lived record then, can't wait to see how high its peak week reaches this month.

Where did you get official weekly numbers?

I am surprised that the best week for Wii wouldn't be in Dec 2009 considering it sold 3.81m for the whole month.

curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
