REPORT - UK week one Switch sales hit 80k

Nintendo Switch sold 80k units in its first 48 hours on sale in the UK, MCV understands.

To put that into context, that’s double the 40k Wii U managed in its opening weekend, but below the 113k shifted by the 3DS in the same period.

For further context, Wii sold around 105k in its opening weekend. The Xbox One managed 150k, and the PS4 250k.

To what extent Switch’s numbers were limited by stock levels is unclear. Certainly some retailers are sold out, although the machine is still available from some online stores and can still be found on the High Street, albeit patchily.
