Are you seriously trying to tell me that Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday before Thanksgiving are higher selling days than the Saturday, Sunday and Monday after Thanksgiving?

Go look up any list of busiest shopping days of the year.  You'll find Saturday and Cyber Monday on those lists but you won't find the preceding Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday.

Compared to Wii back in 2008, which is what Nintendo is comparing Switch for, definitively yes....Wii was sold out or almost after those fridays always. And compared to PS4, yes again, we know that Switch sold more than PS4 that Friday in Black Friday week last year and PS4 still sold more that week and that month (a lot more in fact) than Switch. There's a reason why Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo started using BF week this gen (monday to friday) as their way to show sales, not the next days. 

Actually, they used Black Friday week last generation. I believe It was because NPD data provided them the information and NPD group itself use to give out the information. So they didn't have to provide internal numbers. 

Also Sony's PR for Black Friday last year, was not for the week at all, but just for the day.
