Estimates on Era put it at ~40k so that would be the 6th highest Switch opening behind BotW, MK8D, Odyssey, Let's Go & Smash.

So basically it's behind all of the system sellers but above all of the B tier titles. I'm not that surprised honestly. How did Mario Party do week one in UK?

I think under 20k

So pretty good all things considered, the legs will be what sells this game anyway

So new numbers are out and it’s actuallly 56% more. Anyone care to do the math?

I consider it better than what I expected.  Japanese pre orders seemed to be almost bombing low but first week sales could be above 100K.  Based on hype and barely knowing someone who wants it (except for collectors) I expected 200k opening worldwide and 1-2 million LTD because of legs.   seems I am wrong and their is a group of people who want the game :p.

I played both New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Luigi U original versions. They are great platformers, so deserved sales.

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!

Beat me to it

56% is quite a bit more than 25%, and interesting that Tales of Vesperia sold better on Switch than on PS4 (49 to 43%, the rest goes to Xbox)

I've done the math and it's still within downplayable range which is what matters.
