If anything that cements just how ridiculous CoD and Fifa sales are (mostly in Europe for the latter ofc). This probably also doesn't include digital for Nintendo games, but I doubt anything other than Scarlet and Violet is in the same league when it comes to launch sales.

Yeah I'm sure it doesn't include digital sales for Nintendo. Don't believe anyone but Nintendo has that info neither NPD or this. Though it's worth noting how skewed Pokemon is to Japan. It did Ship+Digital a colossal 10m first week but 4m of that was in Japan. So 6m FW ship+digital for outside Japan so I wouldn't be surprised if Hogwarts still beat S/V in Europe even if it didn't WW.

Here's sales for some of the games in the list:

Red Dead Redemption 2 - 17m Globally (First 2 Weeks)
Pokemon - 10m Globally (6m outside Japan) (First Week)
Cyberpunk 2077 - 13m Globally (First 3 Weeks)
Elden Ring - 13.4m Globally (First 5 weeks)
TLOU Part 2 - 4m Globally (First Week)
God of War Ragnarok - 5.1m Globally (First Week)

Yeah, it's sell-tgrough.  When Nintendo gives their launch week PR, it's consistent.

-Retail + Digital sell-through

-Total sales through 1st Sunday (Fri launch = 3 days, Wed launch = 5 days, etc.)

Others in this range:

Scarlet/Violet: >10M 3 day

Arceus: 6.5M 3 Day

BDSP: >6M 3 Day

SwSh: >6M 3 Day

SSBU: >5M 3 Day

Animal Crossing New Horizons PR not given due to pandemic, but believed to be above Arceus and below Scarlet/Violet.

For longer frames sell-through:

Scarlet Violet 18.20M 7 weeks

BDSP 11.70M 6 weeks

SSBU 10.00M 5 weeks

SwSh 12.28M 9 weeks

ACNH 13.41M 6 weeks

ACNH 20.00M 19 weeks
