Great sales in March-April were obvious. The important part is after that.

I'm a bit surprised about the "better than the Wii" though. The Switch launch is lower than the PS4 launch, but I didn't think that the PS4 was better than the Wii?

The Wii launch had very short supplies. If we're talking strictly US (as Reggie is), the ps4 had a much better first month, as it sold a million on its first day of release. The Wii sold 600k in 8 days, so apparently the Switch is doing better than that. The Wii's stock shortages lasted for a long, long time, though. 

 Worth noting the Wii's shortages after that initial problematic period were in the face of rather than due to the lack of high production rates.  Nintendo is stepping up Switch production quite substantially so we'll see if the next few months are still restricted.

Still all good news.  Numbers will be more interesting though.
