Soo...how many units have been sold? Honest question. Apart from Japan I don't think we have information on the sales after the first couple of days?

The known minimum target for shipments in March is 2m and the system has been sold out worldwide for the most part. This means that Switch will clear the 2m mark with ease and comfortably beat the Wii U and Vita.

Wii U sell-through by the end of 2012 is estimated to be a little over 2m by VGC. That's 1.5 months for America, 1 month for Japan and 1 month for Europe. Wii U was readily available everywhere at that point in time, something that's not going to hold true for Switch.

Vita shipments reached 1.8m units worldwide by March 2012. That's 4 months for Japan, 1 month for America and 1 month for Europe. Sell-through was notably lower than that, because it wasn't hard to find Vitas on store shelves. Vita being mentioned in the OP serves no other purpose than attempting to lessen the bias.

Sounds reasonable.
