The first two weeks of January are basically the slowest sales period for any existing system and Switch has pent up demand as a new system that's accepting its first pre-orders. It should easily outsell the PS4/XB1 in this specific situation, it would be a giant red flag if it didn't. Also Amazon I don't think was even selling the Wii U in 2012: http://nintendotoday.com/amazon-still-not-selling-wii-u/ |
I was going to post this if no one else did. Amazon.com wasn't taking pre-orders or even directly selling Nintendo consoles at the time of the Wii U's launch. I would hope the Switch could beat that pretty easily.
Otherwise, launch numbers mean very little unless they're terrible. Die-hard fans and scalpers turn out heavy during the first week for pretty much anything. Supplies are also often limited, further obscuring the results and making direct comparisons to other products very difficult.
