Although this is not official, and no official numbers have been released by Nintendo but it wouldn’t be a surprise considering Nintendo Switch sold over 80,000 console units in the UK alone in the first few days.
Legend of Zelda : Breath of Wild is also, now the best selling standalone launch title in Nintendo history beating Donkey Kong for the Nintendo 64.
