6M in first 3 days for pokemon sword/shield makes it the biggest Switch launch (beating Smash by 1 million) and most likely the biggest pokemon launch ever worldwide (Sun/Moon was at 7.2M after almost 2 full weeks on the market). Pretty insane.
TPC: Pokémon Sword & Shield has sold 6M copies (2M in Japan alone). It's the fastest selling Nintendo Switch software ever. | ResetEra

Trying to work out if they mean Friday through Sunday. I think it is as we don't have a full week on sale yet
Also it has sold 2 million in Japan alone from physical and digital in the first week of sale. A step up from the low 1.3 physical that was reported, so that's almost a third digital
