Technically it was the leader the day it launched, because it is a next generation console. It needs to be said now lest people conveniently forget. The next generation has begun, and the previous generation has ended. Nintendo is just running up a lead against non existent competition. It doesn't fundamentally matter how much they sell compared to last generation hardware. Nintendo won that previous generation, and they don't need to win it again.
