My bad. Typo resulted in 13M instead of 1.3M.

My prediction for November NPD was around 1.3M for the Switch (or 1.2M I can,t recall).

If nintendo says they have sold 8.2M in NA so far and that is until cyber monday this november, I was basically asking if we have their NA number for october so we can at least make some sort of estimate on how it has sold in november so far.

Hahaha, ok, that makes more sense...XD. I did not post a prediction here for Switch in November but I expected 1'3M too (I expected 1'9M or 2'0M for PS4 but it's clear i will vastly wrong with that.....such disappointed)

If we take from granted the numbers leaked from NPD until November and that 8'2M sold until 26 November, that means Switch has sold 900k until that day (26 Nov). That's why there a lot of discussion here because it seems a little low if we accept that Switch had the best BF ever, even surpassing Wii.

EDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nintendo Switch set two new records from Thanksgiving to Cyber Monday: It became the best-selling Nintendo console in U.S. history for that five-day period, surpassing even Wii system sales. Nintendo Switch also had its best-selling week ever in the United States. In fact, according to Adobe Analytics, Nintendo Switch was among the most-purchased items online on Thanksgiving Day and the overall top-selling video game product online for the Black Friday-Cyber Monday time period.

It clearly states that Switched Surpassed WII AND NO OTHER NINTENDO CONSOLES in that comparison.

Excuse me, what? I think you should really read that bolded sentence again.

It quite literally says that Switch became the best-selling Nintendo console in that five day period. Then, they follow up and say that they even surpassed Wii, which is notable because Wii previously held the record of being the highest selling Nintendo console in that period.
