I don't think these numbers switch over wii matter that much as a company could play around with numbers easily, it say Thanksgiving to Cyber Monday, wii was probably long sold out  before thanks giving. what really matters most is the 8.2 million number.

I will tell you that the PS4 this year sold a ton more those days than it did from Thanksgiving to Cyber Monday. Because that's when there was actually stock. The Wii wasn't a particularly well-stocked unit and constantly sold out during sales if I recall correctly.

Compared to Wii back in 2008, which is what Nintendo is comparing Switch for, definitively yes....Wii was sold out or almost after those fridays always. And compared to PS4, yes again, we know that Switch sold more than PS4 that Friday in Black Friday week last year and PS4 still sold more that week and that month (a lot more in fact) than Switch. There's a reason why Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo started using BF week this gen (monday to friday) as their way to show sales, not the next days. 

Actually, they used Black Friday week last generation. I believe It was because NPD data provided them the information and NPD group itself use to give out the information. So they didn't have to provide internal numbers. 

Also Sony's PR for Black Friday last year, was not for the week at all, but just for the day. 

OK, but if they use a period of days, they choose the days i say, not the others. Nintendo is probably using this period now because is the only thing that really is better than last year. Is like expecting more sales 26, 27, 28 December than in 22, 23, 24 December. People don't wait to buy after the day, and if they can choose, they buy as earlier as they can. That's why sales from monday to friday are bigger than in saturday, sunday and monday (even with CM).

The only fact (as much a fact can be...XD) is the 8'2M sold comment. Those are official numbers and are as trustworthy as when they say Pokemon sold 1'5M in 3 days or Sony saying Spiderman sold 3'3M in 3 days. There's no reason at all to doubt them.

Lol.....

I think people are getting this confused. And for good reason because of how nintendo worded its PR. Which is what any good PR should do. Skew the facts.

Here is what we can confirm.

1. The 100%+ increase nintendo is talking about is not for a week. Its for a window between of 5 days. That covers BF ad CM.

2. That window of 5 days is their best selling yet. so while this has obviously set a record, its not the same thing as saying is better than or matches the full week sales of any of their previous consoles. But we know that if looking at those 5 days for any of their consoles the NS will win.

3. Saying it did 100%+ over last year tells us shit all. what did it do exactly during those 5 days last year? Does anyone know? It could have done 100k, 200k or 300k..... no one knows. But we know it more than doubled last years sales. NOT FOR THE WEEK, but specifically for those 5 days.

4. This does not also mean it has sold 1.1M, 1.2M or 1.4M for the month of november. Because there is no way for us to know what it was selling like before those 5 days and what its gonna sell like after that.

My estimates for the NS for the whole month of Nov was around 1.3M I think. Or was it 1.2M? If feel with how things are playing out now that is where its going to fall.

Patiently waiting on numbers and concrete info!

Maybe with everything else, you are right, but we are talking consoles here, and with consoles there is the problem with stock every year, all of them put 90% of their stock for the week, until BF. Technology works different, and in this case, console gaming.

And I forgot to add....

About it having the best week FOR SWITCH.

This also means nothing when we have no numbers to compare it to.

I see no reason for nintendo to lie about the 8.2 million number in a very detailed article via business wire, switch will end  up 800-950k for november book it.
