105k in France... best shipment console debut ever.

La Nintendo Switch bat tous les records de ventes en France

[Xevross]

Nintendo's best debut in Europe too. So its a fairly strong start for the switch.

It was always going to be a strong opening week though. Whatever stock they supplied, they'll sell. Its good to see that there's decent demand but the real test is the next few months

FRANCE

That is the number you need to compare.

PS4: 90k *
Wii: 95k *
Switch: 105k

* Both heavy supply constrained.

Is the PS4 number from Zhuge? Cause he also tweeted that the Wii sold 75k in its first weekend, which is obviously false.

Anyways good launch, is gonna make for an annoying couple weeks on Gaf and some other places with people proclaiming that "the king is back" etc.

No.

His numbers are obvious wrong.

How stupid is this?

"What's more, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is the biggest-selling Nintendo launch title ever in Europe - beating the previous record holder Wii Sports (which was bundled with the hardware)."

Zelda's attach rate is ludicrous, albeit expected.

What's stupid about it?

Nvm, there was a tweet in the same article that said highest selling non-bundled game.

4. Zelda for Nintendo Switch the best selling standalone launch title (i.e. not a bundled game a la Wii Sports) in Nintendo history...

Oh I see, yeah that is stupid ^^

[Dr. Pezus]

If it did sell more than Wii Sports that would mean switch sold at least 357k in Europe

Or didn't Wii sell 325k?thought I saw that somewhere

Yeah. Zelda attach rate is probably around 90%, so that would mean around 400k switch sales

From what I get here...

Zelda Wii U + Switch > Wii Sports > Zelda Switch

Combined it is the best selling Nintendo titles launch in Europe even including the bundled Wii Sports.

Wii sold 325k.
And the 91% attach rate is France only.
