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

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

Only if you've got enough stock to satisfy both though. Stock permitting, yeah a holiday launch should do better, but for a really in demand console there's rarely, if ever, enough stock to actually take full advantage of a holiday launch.

Yeah sure, stock limits always cut short what demand could be. So, we may speculate that for a march release for Wii the stock could have been sufficient. We don't know.

And no, the real march that came after is different, because the early buyers generated word of mouth advertising.
