Impressive opening... I was expecting that it would do very well in the USA ( Zelda Land )  but I'm surprised that it did the 50% sales of switch verion, I was anticipating somewhat less.

 

If Nintendo is willing to keep shipping wii u version copies at least till holidays, we should see the game in the top ten best selling wii u games ( first party ), it only needs 2.1m to manage it!

P.s Do you consider that if there was no switch and BOTW was just a wii u game, could it push a lot of wii u units even at this point?

Switch and Switch version of Zelda were understocked, so if there is no stock issuses Switch and Switch version of game would sell more.

Wii U is dead for quiet time now, Nintendo stoped production and sending shipments of Wii U units in 2016.

In any case good numbers for Wii U version beacuse Wii U is dead.

 Yeah, that's why I deemed it as impressive... Although, I say killed, because Nintendo curtailed the production in 2016 in spite of having a great momentum for wii u standards thanks to splatoon and super mario maker! GC final year ( year before wii release )  shipments was normal but of course GC was costing 99$ and wii 249$, while wii u costs 299$ as much as switch... ;)

Also, let me correct you, Nintendo has officially stopped the production in Japan in December 2016 and perhaps in Europe too...

You will see in 27th of April that Nintendo shipped wii u units in the past quarter in west, probably the last!
