Switch is beating Wii U, but behind the original Wii.

Uhum, this is true, but you need to keep in mind that this time Nintendo is facing worse problems when manufacturing Switches due to NAND shortages around the world (and even having to "fight" Apple to get more pieces). I'm not saying it would reach Wii's first 4 months numbers without supply issues, but it would be even closer. And that's amazing considering we are not at the holidays.

How much of a factor even is that though?

For established consoles holiday sales obviously do see a big increase. But for an in demand new console? Wouldn't the fact that it's new, in demand and people have literally had no way to buy it beforehand counteract the fact that it's not the holiday period?

Two different groups of customers. The early adopters and the holiday shoppers. Launch at the end of the year gets both.
