If I said "launch" then that obviously was a mistake, because the 3DS launch was garbage and there's nothing impressive about comparing it to anything. And it is close enough, what I would consider far off is 2 million, as I already mentioned. Again, this small sample size doesn't reflect the Switch's future, the whole reason I came into this thread when I saw people making up these figures.

2 million? What are you even talking about? 2 million over the three months that we have data for? The Wii didn't even sell 2 million total in its first three months, let alone 2 million more than the 3DS, and that was a holiday launch.

I don't think you understand the point I'm getting at. When I first posted my comment, I said 16 million Switch sales in the first year would make e.g. 10 million sales on Zelda possible. However, we don't know if the Switch will sell that well. The Switch, at least, to be truly "ahead" of the 3DS, should beat it by 2 million in an annual NPD to make it possible to outsell it. Right now, the monthly NPDs for the Switch aren't enough evidence to justify that it will inevitably outsell the 3DS, which is what you're implying. I don't know where you got the Wii from, but ok.
