Switch sells more than 830,000 in America during Thanksgiving week, 17.5 million total units in the Americas.

Best sales week for the Switch ever.

And here I was questioning them selling that V1 MK8D bundle for $299. Ended up working out for them, clearing old stock without eating into profits.

Now it's just the thousands that bought it we should be questioning. WHY?

Damn son I didnt think the ps4 would pass the 1m sold tbh.
And the xboxone did VERY WELL this week.
Very good week for two consoles in their 6th year going.
The PsVita didnt take advantage of Black Friday tho, theres no excuse for it not reaching 50 units sold.

There was a news story posted here this week with estimates from Rin Tin Tin, who is an insider, and the numbers he gave turned out to be pretty accurate again. He predicted over 800k for the XBO, over 1 million for the PS4, and simply that the Switch sold the most.

PR also points out that Cyber Monday was the biggest yet for Switch, which we'll see in next weeks numbers.

800k Global was Cyber Monday week last year, so should be up from that. Week after is Smash Bros Week though, so if it can continue to be up YoY will be in question.

Switch should sell like 500K next week, Xbone will sell around 100K and boom Switch will outsell Xbone next (this) week I guess?

Next week is cyber monday. last year Switch sold 800k and XBO sold 418k.

But yeah, Switch should outsell XBO with the next update.

PS4-1640k

NSW-1375k

XB1-1035k

Post BF 2018

PS4-885k

NSW-800k

XB1-420k

A similar WoW drop would give us

PS4-635k

NSW-945k

XB1-365k

Incase anyone's curious, BF Week records for each console!

Global

PS4 - 1.68m (2017)
DS - 1.63m (2008)
Switch - 1.63m (2019)
Wii - 1.35m (2008)
360 - 1.31m (2011)
XBO - 1.21m (2015)
PS3 - 844k (2011)
3DS - 844k (2011)
PSP - 500k (2008)
WiiU - 472k (2012)
Vita - 221k (2012)

USA

360 - 1061k (2011)
PS4 - 927k (2017)
DS - 891k (2009)
Switch - 830k (2019)
XBO - 809k (2017)
Wii - 766k (2008)
PS3 - 499k (2011)
3DS - 495k (2011)
WiiU - 421k (2012)
PSP - 221k (2008)
Vita - 143k (2012)

Switch loses Global to only the PS4 and DS! (DS outsold the Switch by 211 units... xD) When it comes to the USA though, it's going to take a lot for the 360's BF record to ever be broken.

Oh and if anyone is wondering why WiiU seems so high, that's also it's launch week. It's best Black Friday other than that is in the 200k's.

Good numbers all around in USAj Just as some people were anticipating, so not many surprises then.

Seeing worldwide numbers, Switch did better than last year, XBO did pretty similar to last year and PS4 ended with a 30% drop. I supose i expected better from Europe....

Are those numbers from this site or from other sources?
