I mean, if it's "one of" the fastest pace in Nintendo's history then I'd hardly call that unprecedented. Switch has had a fantastic first 9 months. Keep it going.

"He called Switch’s sales “unprecedented” before adding that its pace “is one of the fastest in our own history and in gaming history.”"

VGPolyglot said: If it's unprecedented, wouldn't that mean there is no precedent? If it's one of their best-selling that must mean that a precedent has already been established. |

“The fact that we reached 10 million units sold on a global basis and we’re not fully through the holidays is unprecedented territory for Nintendo.”

I think some have either misinterpreted or glossed over the first sentence of the quote when he said “for Nintendo.” And it is something to note for Nintendo because it sold very well globally while the holidays are still resuming. Unlike most of the consoles in recent generations, the Switch didn’t have the luxury of releasing within the holidays for any of the main regions.
