Mostly a joke, but well I refuse to give Nintendo any credit for now.  They are supposely shipping 2 million for march I believe?

It would be fairly hilarious if the ps4 or xb1 can sell more than that. I mean it won't happen, not in March - but still hilarious.

Oh I can only imagine the riots on the forums if that were to happen.  I want it to happen just for the hilarity.

It's common sense that a new product sells more than old products when they first hit the market. Switch isn't competing with PS4 or Xbox just like the Wii since both were not targeting the same consumer. No one who doesn't buy an Xbox is going to buy Switch, just as no one who doesn't buy a PS4 is going to buy Switch. They will buy they other instead. Switch is irrelevant to the other two and has it's own lane with no competition except the 3DS ironically. So Switch sales won't be at the expense of the others. I expect the sales to be lower than Nintendo fans expect since it is not releasing in the fall and there isn't much hype compared to the WiiU. Nothing like when the Wii was coming.
