Sold more than 1million units on launch day in the USA...... dont read too much into it.

Guy that wrote it probably likes xbox more than playstation.

 

Its def. not a bad thing it seems to be selling well.

Its still too early to say one way or another, where the Switch will end up, but so far its looking good.

Your link is an article about day one sales and other first week/first two weeks performances where such an argument still has merit, but Switch is already farther along the timeline and not comparable anymore to the trajectories of the Wii U and Vita which were cited in the original post. This kind of argument needed to be posted two to three weeks ago, because today it doesn't work anymore. Hence why I said that it's too late for it.

Also, in regards to your article, "don't read too much into it" has a nuance to it. Launch sales still mean something based on the wording. This is contrary to the message of this thread that launch sales are meaningless.

Soo...how many units have been sold? Honest question. Apart from Japan I don't think we have information on the sales after the first couple of days?
