That's still much less than the 3DS.

3DS was launched in February in Japan, basically strongest market for handheld, so for Japan 3DS had 5 weeks of sales, not just one week. So it's really hard to compare with Switch expecting launch numbers.

Even if you only count the first 2 days of the 3DS in Japan and the 5-6 days of sales in March in the rese of the world that's still 2.95M shipped.
