I paid good money for this Dynex!
That's nowhere near as many as The Switch 1 has sold.

Well.. they got me on the ratio. I didn't see much else to get, so opted for Mario Kart to get something. Enjoying it well enough though, but 80 seems steep. Is what it is.

Well deserved, it's a great port; especially for a launch game. I'm pretty sure they'll also bring Witcher 4, possibly day and date.
Yup. Excellent port of a legendary game, and they have it up and running at launch, truly impressive
With how well Witcher 3 sold on Switch, and how well this apparently will sell on Switch 2, I wouldn't be surprised if they aimed for day and date support in the future, yeah.

A friend's brother's father in law's extramarital 7yo nephews were absolutely happy to customize their genitals to match their feelings, Nintendo did it again.
I'm not in the US but I wonder if mine counts as a US sale since Latin America doesn't have official Nintendo distribution so I can imagine the ones we have take them from US supplies.

PS4 was 1M in 24 hours, then they had no stock.
Xbox One was 909k in 9 days, can't remember if this was WW, let me check.
Edit: Yup, 909k NPD.
Overall:
Overall retail sales were up by 7% year over year.
Hardware sales were up by 58% year over year.
Software was down by 24% year over year.
Best November ever for hardware in the US due to the PS4/XB1 launches and a 3DS upturn.

-PS4 sold more next-gen software than other next-gen platforms.
-PS4 attach rate is higher than PS3 or PS2.

This doesn't include MyNintendo, which could add 50k?
If they start developing a Switch 2 port now, it will take years before it releasesIf Cyberpunk is doing that well GTAVI is most definitely coming
And that's assuming it is even possible at all, which I still don't think it is

Yup, could be anything over 1.1.

Rockstar didn't develop Cyberpunk
You do know it has to run on Series S right?
A few cut backs & it should be good to go

Series S has a better CPU, higher RAM bandwidth, and a higher power profile. All three of those things are likely to be ones that GTA6 cannot budge on, given the kind of game it is. Even Cyberpunk makes concessions to crowd and vehicle density to run on Switch 2, and its a lot less process intensive than GTA6 will be.

It sold 1M in 24 hours when it launched, no idea if it had any more stock after that for November.
Yes, although Sony's 1 million reported number is for North America, not USA (meaning sales from Canada and Mexico are also included, which are not included in numbers reported for USA specifically).
Unknown?

It can have pop-in like Driver 2 on PS1.

Awesome that the Switch 2 broke another record, but Cyberpunk being the second best selling game at retail is even better news. Bodes well for both third party support and the future of physical media on the platform.

How you know that if NPD tracked the whole month?

Does cyberpunk have the cross platform save thingy so I can play my pc save?
Mr Moose

Yeah I just noticed it includes Canada in their statement.
I was wrong, it was NA not US.
So it's somewhere between 910k and 1.1 for November in the US.

BOTW was a phenomenal launch title for the system. Even some of my casual gamer friends wanted a Switch just to play BOTW, lol. I think they sold more NSW copies of BOTW than actual Switch consoles during the launch month.
