Switch has its best week ever in the U.S. thanks to Black Friday and Pokémon

Nintendo announced today that the Switch had its best sales week ever in the U.S. during Thanksgiving week, which included Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Switch sold 830,000 consoles during the week, bringing total sales for the machine in the U.S. to 17.5 million.

The Switch debuted in March 2017, and it’s been a much more successful console than its predecessor, the Wii U. That system sold 13.56 million consoles around the world during its life. That’s less than what the Switch has done in the U.S. alone. And the Switch is launching in China on December 10, which will boost its worldwide sales.
