The Switch and Zelda did extremely well in Europe, in general.

Nintendo: Switch is largest Nintendo hardware launch ever in Europe, Zelda is biggest-selling launch title in Europe, too.

i wonder why nintendo hasnt given an official statement yet regarding world wide sales. it certainly did 1m+ easily. in the states its around 500k or even more. in japan its 330k, in France + Uk thats 185. they are over a million in just those countries, world wide the launch can exceed 1.5 million units in its first week. i guess an announcement is imminent

My 2 guesses are they're waiting for concrete numbers in every market, or they'll keep sales announcement for the investors meeting next month (I think it's next month).

Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

I think they'll probably announce the exact number just during their next shareholders meeting. I think it's March 31st , isn't it? Can't wait for that.
