It is way, way too early to be talking about Switch outselling the Wii. Sure, it has had a strong launch, but so did the Dreamcast and Wii U.

Let's see how it's selling this time next year.

Wii U had strong launch, but everything about Wii U was very negative despite strong launch, in comparison everything about Switch looks much more positive, not to mentione that Switch broke some records, it has one best games ever like launch game and other very strong games will be out in 1st 9 months of console on market, and demand seems much higher than was for Wii U.

The first 9 months of software look solid, but we know pretty much nothing beyond that. It remains to be seen whether they can keep up this pace. For all we know the game droughts could begin again next year. Even if they do maintain a consistent stream of content, that content will need to include enough new system selling games, not just stuff that sells to existing owners. Games like Donkey Kong Country Returns 3, Diddy Kong Racing 2, or  Wii U remasters are not gonna cut it.
