translation: Nintendo's hybrid console registers its best month of November in Spain since its launch in march 20017. It also has achieved its best Black Friday In sales of all its models. Edit: link to the article

From the article body:
"Nintendo Switch remains unstoppable and registers its best month of November in terms of sales in Spain since its launch in March 2017. This is confirmed by a new press release offered by Nintendo Spain in which it is specified that the hybrid console has achieved its best month of November since its premiere and that it has also broken a new record in terms of sales at European level. The Nintendo Switch family, composed of the standard model, Switch Lite and SWITCH OLED, has registered its best hardware sales in the week of Black Friday in its history,far surpassing the previous record recorded last November 2019."
It says it broke November sales record in Spain, then it says it also broke a record on a European Level too. The next sentence tells us what that European record is, black friday.
All the articles reporting on Spain are taking words from a Nintendo press release and unlike every other region none of the Spanish articles explicitly say Spain had it's best BF ever. They only say Spain had it's best November ever and then talk about europe as a whole.
Like it's worded in this article: Nintendo Switch achieves the best month of November in terms of sales in Spain since its launch (in-24.com)
"As the company has announced and according to internal sales data, Switch has achieved the best month of November since its launch in Spain, with sales data that far exceed the previous mark set the same month, but in 2019. This includes all its versions, be it the original model, Switch Lite or the OLED model.
In Europe it has registered the best week in its history In addition, they confirm from Spain that Switch has registered the best hardware sales of its history in the week of Black Friday at the European level."
Nintendo Spain confirmed to this outlet that Switch had it's best BF week on a European Level.
So compare the PR statements given from each region
Germany - "more Switch consoles were sold in Germany and Europe in the week from November 22 to 28"
Italy - "Nintendo Switch has totaled sales record in the week of Black Friday in Italy and Europe"
Spain - "best hardware sales of its history in the week of Black Friday at the European level."
If you find an article that explicitly says best black friday week in Spain then that changes things but all the articles are pretty much copy+pasted material from whatever Nintendo sent them and they are carefully worded.
So I'm taking this as Spain BF not the best ever, but it was the best November ever for Spain and the best BF ever for Europe as a whole.
It makes more sense this way for the 35k figure we got. The figure may be out a bit, but I'd hesitate to say the tracking was so bad that instead of 35k it was actually 55k.
