The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening sold around 140,000 copies in its first week in Japan. According to Dengeki, the game sold through 60 percent of its initial shipment.
Dengeki examined the game’s sales closer by comparing the debut of Link’s Awakening to Breath of the Wild. The latter Zelda title sold 204,000 copies in its first week before going on to sell over 1.22 million units overall (and counting). Like that game, Link’s Awakening could maintain long-term sales.

Switch Lite sold 13,500 units in its first week in the UK
Posted on 3 weeks ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
According to a GamesIndustry report, the Switch Lite sold roughly 13,500 units during its first week in the UK.
While that may seem like a low number, debut sales were not expected to be high. The device should pick up steam closer to Christmas, as was the case for the 2DS. That portable system sold 200,000 units in about two months, though sales primarily increased after the October half-term holiday.
As for Switch in general, it’s sitting at a total of around 1.9 million units sold since launch. It’s slightly better than the 3DS, which reached 1.9 million sales by the end of November 2013.
