It said it was one of the strongest launches of the last few years. It never said the strongest. 

^^ this, 

So what was the launch of the XBO and PS4... i cannot remember... They were around 1m right? Let's be honest here even if they only do 700 thats still going to be the best selling console for the month, and even with say a 50% drop off, they should still be in with a very good chance of winning the next as well (considering stock issues). 

PS4 was 1M the first day... In the US only. 250K for the first 48h in the UK, so surely close to 1M in total for the EU launch too. 320K for the first 2 days in Japan. So with an aligned launch, it should be close to 2,5M or more for the first 2 days. Nintendo was planning to sell 2M in the first month for the Switch. It's unlikely that the Switch had a launch as strong as the PS4, or even the XOne.
