Wow I'm an idiot, I completely misread that sales report before. Its 830k sales in the regular week (sun-sat) covering BF and not covering cyber monday, which is absolutely huge. The article said that on top of this, cyber monday for switch was its best ever, and we know last year was good.
Cyber monday was included in Nov last year, and Switch got 1355k for the month. No cyber monday this year, but we know it sold 830k in the last week. So the question is did it sell 520k+ in the three weeks prior. And I'd say yeah most likely. Last year Nov sales was probs something like:
Week 1: 100k
Week 2: 200k (Pokemon)
Week 3: 700k (Black Friday)
Week 4: 355k (Cyber Monday)
And this year I'd guess something like:
Week 1: 150k
Week 2: 250k (Pokemon)
Week 3: 250k
Week 4: 830k (Black Friday)
So total of 1480k, up about 10% YOY.
