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.

Compare it next quarter. Switxh didnr have a holiday

Your imagination must be running wild if you think that's what they would only release in 9 months during 2018.

only games on that level I mean. There isn't going to be a big game in the first half of next year, we would know about it already.

UK first week:

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

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

So SMO sold more than 73K FW in UK :O

X1X will outsell the Switch here.

Well, surpassing the Wii U's numbers isn't really that much of an achievement to be honest, but this is still great to hear. Switch is looking to have an excellent holiday season.

Really? MS underestimated the demand, and Switch hasn't even sold half a mill here. Unless i am wrong, someone let me know.
