The Wii U had like two months that were pretty good. Two holiday months. The sales then absolutely collapsed in January-February. In 2013, it sold 3.1 million. In the first 12 months - which includes it's launch, first holiday, and part of its second holiday - it sold around 5.4 million. And the Wii U was abbundant as Nintendo unwittingly stuffed the channels.
As of the end of August - only 6 months - the Switch has blown past that and is at over 6 million. And those 6 months include no Holiday months. And it launched in March. And it was pretty badly supply constrained in most major markets.
