Odyssey is the biggest Switch launch of the year, surpassing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. In fact, its first week boxed sales are stronger than any Wii U title's debut, too. The game also resulted in a 64% increase in Switch hardware sales week-on-week, which means the machine has now passed 300,000 console sales in the UK (sales figures supplied from retailers). Also, note that sales from the online UK Nintendo Store are not counted in these figures, so these numbers will have been higher than reported.

Comparison

PlayStation 4 (Nov 2013 - Jun 2014) - 798,000
Xbox One (Nov 2013 - Jun 2014) - 554,000
Nintendo Switch (Mar 2017 - Oct 2017) - 300,000

Switch hype train is affecting everyone!!!

Yeah if it wasnt then it would be bad

Even the brits are buying the Swich!

Good news. Nintendo needs to grow it's European audience.

Go NS. Go NS. My SMO copy will arrive on thursday .

UK first week:

BotW: 72k
MK8D: 67k
MK8U: 73k

No other Wii U or Switch games came even close to these three.

it's not great when you compare it to the other two, it's not much above a third of PS4 over the same period

not sure what doesn't resonate in the UK when it comes to Nintendo. Will be curious to see how it performs next year, where it seems like if there are any big hitters released, it will be in the fall. Having Jan-Sept with only Kirby and Yoshi will likely mean some very underwhelming sales in the UK, at least comparatively.

Holy fuck! That is GREAT!!
