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. 

OK, but if they use a period of days, they choose the days i say, not the others. Nintendo is probably using this period now because is the only thing that really is better than last year. Is like expecting more sales 26, 27, 28 December than in 22, 23, 24 December. People don't wait to buy after the day, and if they can choose, they buy as earlier as they can. That's why sales from monday to friday are bigger than in saturday, sunday and monday (even with CM).

The only fact (as much a fact can be...XD) is the 8'2M sold comment. Those are official numbers and are as trustworthy as when they say Pokemon sold 1'5M in 3 days or Sony saying Spiderman sold 3'3M in 3 days. There's no reason at all to doubt them.
