Well those same 5 days period for Wii would be very strong in any case (Wii had crazy sales) and Switch having best those 5 day period and better than Wii means we talking about strong sales in any case for that period. Also like RolStoppable wrote, Looking at VGC's estimates for Black Friday week in 2017 (472k) and taking NPD results from last November into account (770k), it seems reasonable to assign ~400k to the five-day-period in 2017. So if 400k is the base value and sales grew by 115%, the result is 860k. We also know that Switch had its best week in US, meaning that beat even launch Switch week in US. |
Wii was hot item and most likely very supply constrained those 5 days, compared to switch, so it's most likely wii got most of it's 800k on different days since it doesn't specify the and just mention 7 days with black friday and thanks giving included, knowing how hot the wii was it probably impossible to find those days.
what Rolstoppable wrote is speculation nobody knows what switch did last year during those 5 days last year, it could be anywhere from 270-400 that's something we will never know, what we do know is nintendo gave a LTD for switch in the US, and it nintendo have never giving a false LTD in the US before, or a LTD for the US with missing numbers, it has never happened before, i don't see any reason to doubt these numbers and not trust Nintendo.
