Switch numbers don't factor into what I'm getting at. The 3DS being a far more desirable product than the Wii U could ever hope to be sold half as much in it's two months, that can only be attributed to releasing outside of holidays.

I get what you're saying, but the 3DS wasn't a desirable product at all until Nintendo hit it with that $80 (or $70, I can't quite remember which) price cut. At its original launch price of $250, a lot of people were calling it a bit of a launch flop. 

In general sure, hence the numbers it got, but compared to Wii U I'd say it was always inherently more desirable but I guess that's besides the point. Basically any system regardless of it's quality can have a good launch during the holidays, but to have a good launch outside of the holidays the system needs to actually be good.
