Lol.....

I think people are getting this confused. And for good reason because of how nintendo worded its PR. Which is what any good PR should do. Skew the facts.

Here is what we can confirm.

1. The 100%+ increase nintendo is talking about is not for a week. Its for a window between of 5 days. That covers BF ad CM.

2. That window of 5 days is their best selling yet. so while this has obviously set a record, its not the same thing as saying is better than or matches the full week sales of any of their previous consoles. But we know that if looking at those 5 days for any of their consoles the NS will win.

3. Saying it did 100%+ over last year tells us shit all. what did it do exactly during those 5 days last year? Does anyone know? It could have done 100k, 200k or 300k..... no one knows. But we know it more than doubled last years sales. NOT FOR THE WEEK, but specifically for those 5 days.

4. This does not also mean it has sold 1.1M, 1.2M or 1.4M for the month of november. Because there is no way for us to know what it was selling like before those 5 days and what its gonna sell like after that.

My estimates for the NS for the whole month of Nov was around 1.3M I think. Or was it 1.2M? If feel with how things are playing out now that is where its going to fall.
