It's too early to say anything.
2 million for worldwide launch is what Nintendo is saying they have for the Switch launch, which is low. Both the Wii U and 3DS would've sold 2 million in a month as well with a worldwide launch, probably GameCube as well.
Since Nintendo is also conditioning their fan base to have to buy early due to shortages of many products they release (Amiibo, NES Classic, etc.), we're going to need to see stock normalize and oppurtinistic scalpers also get out of the way before having a clearer picture.
The big advantage the Switch has is it's not relying on the unreliable Touch Generations/casual crowd, with a legit AAA game like Zelda, one of the best game's Nintendo has ever made, Switch has a huge advantage over 3DS which Nintendo banked on Nintendogs + cats being a hit with casuals, and it wasn't. Same with NSMBU and Nintendo Land for Wii U.

You seriously quote my post that contained zorg's quote which showed how much the Wii U sold in 1.5m months and then say that Wii U would've sold 2m in a month? The Wii U barely got to 2m with 1.5 months of America and 1 month each for Europe and Japan, and that was during the holiday season.

From Zorg's own post above ... Wii U was at 2.17 million sell through on Dec. 29th, basically one month post launch. If they had only shipped 2 million, they would have had shortages.
