Only having 2 million units shipped in the first month when doing such a large worldwide release is pretty bad regardless of the month. Like I said it either mean really low internal expectations on sales or they are way behind production. If its the latter it begs to question why they are releasing this now when its obvious this system should have been launched this fall with its lacking launch line-up and halfbaked features like online not being ready until the fall.

The Wii U sold 2m in two months and it was tracking ahead of the PS3 and XBox 360 at launch and close to the Wii. If the Switch does 2m in 1 month that isnt a holiday thats impressive imo. 

To me it'd be okay and thats only if it sells out that 2 million and is seen as wanted and scarce. But 2 million shipped is not the same as 2 million sold. Also while the PS3 had a notoriously bad launch again it was not released in Europe and most other regions outside of Japan and US until 4 months+ after launch. The PS3 and xbox were also far more expensive at their launches. The Switch is launching near world-wide and cheaper. With so little around the launch and their only major title in Zelda being on the Wii U (also while I love Zelda I think people over exaggerate its sale prowess as its never been an insane unit mover) I personally would be surprised if it sold that 2 million.
