Just Nintendo? Launch + Holidays will do that for ya. Either way we are clearly seeing a trend.

Indeed. Nintendo must release its number 

Do we have previous numbers for around 10 months of consoles like the Wii?

Found this http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2017/11/switch_on_track_to_exceed_10_month_wii_sales_by_20_percent_says_npd_analyst

Switch is on pace to exceed Wii by 20%+ over the first 10 months of sales. The thing is though, the Switch, from a demographic and usage basis, is nothing like the Wii. It’s much more a core gamer console than anything Nintendo has done since maybe NGC? ...and because it’s a hybrid, multi console ownership per household could be a thing, making upside potential bigger than the Wii.

If Pokemon comes next year I can easily see Switch outpacing Wii and taking 40+ share of the hardware market next year, but it does depend on if Pokemon is next year or not.

I meant for periphery countries like Spain. We already know NPD numbers, since they used to provide Wii numbers for free.

No, they are comparing a video game device to all other video game devices.

So it is selling faster than NDS or GBA?

Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won
