The eroticism, violence, and sacrificeSwitch is the fastest selling Nintendo system ever.
At least according to Nintendo and NPD Group sales numbers, which show the hybrid handheld-home console sold over 906,000 units in its first month.
SEE ALSO: This isn't a Nintendo Switch review, but it'll help you decide about buying oneThe Wii U sold roughly 400,000 in its first week and close to 890,000 units in its first six weeks, even though its 2012 launch landed in the more holiday-friendly month of November.
Both consoles have been criticized for their launch lineups -- either for the lackluster number of games offered on the Switch or the lack of a first-party system seller on the Wii U -- but the Switch certainly benefitted from one monster game.
The brand-new Zelda: Breath of the Wildsold a total of 1.3 million units -- more than 925,000 of which were specific to the Switch console, leaving 460,000 Wii U versions.
"That means that Nintendo sold more of this game for Nintendo Switch than it sold Nintendo Switch systems, for an attach rate of more than 100 percent," Nintendo said in a press release. "This may be attributed to people who purchased both a limited edition of the game to collect and a second version to play."
This, unsurprisingly, makes it the fastest selling Zeldagame in Nintendo's history, too.
Nintendo added that shipments of Switch units have not been able to keep up with consumer demand, but that they are "working to make sure everyone who wants a system is able to buy one, and more systems are continually being shipped."
This sounds vaguely and unnervingly familiar (sorry NES Classic fans), though we've got at least a solid five months left to Switch's lifespan if today's events are any indication.
We should be getting clearer, worldwide sales figures directly from Nintendo later this month alongside the company's fiscal-year earnings release.
