The Switch’s launch seems to be setting records for Nintendo across many regions, as it has had the best launch of any Nintendo hardware in the Australia/New Zealand region. Not only that, but Breath of the Wild managed to sell more copies at launch than Wii Sports, which was a bundle game with the Wii. Breath of the Wild also sold more at launch that any previous Zelda game for the region.
