1)  Look up: Switch will easily hit 10m at end of this year

2) To date, the WiiU has sold 3X units as the Switch, so it's still possible that the Switch could sell 9.2M more units and stop. Is that likely? No, not at all. When it launched it sold out and had a period where demand outstripped supply. The comparison, however, relates to a console that has met the demand and cannot increase sales through new releases (WiiU/X1). We don't know when the Switch will get there and we have to wait for it not to be perpetually sold out, so a baseline can be established. Once established, "system sellers" will be very easily identified.

1) I was very clear, it if its selle 9.7m instead of 10m, doesnt relly matters, 300k doesnt make any difrence. In any case, currently all points that Switch without any problems will hit 10m+ at end of this year.

2) Again, Wii U was outsold just first 2 weeks during holiday season, shortly after that Wii U was actually overshiped and that's why in Europe for instance Wii U later had negative shipment. Switch sold more units in 4 month, without holiday season and with huge supply problems, than Wii U sold in 11 months. Switch will probably pass Wii U lt numbers just after 1st year on market. When demand is not meet yet, that demand for console is increasing with every new system seller game, and Splatoon 2 is system seller game, and especially Mario Odyssey, and demand will be increased during holiday season in any case.

1) Your headline is very clear lol, but 300K on 10M is not a substantial difference.

2) Let me clarify this: the Switch and WiiU are at VERY different points in their lifecycles, but their lifecycles will eventually be comparable. All signs point to them have very different durations for sales cycles, as Switch has already been sold out for much longer. The effects of new games on sales right now are similar, as the Switch can't meet demand and WiiU has met demand. In both cases, new releases have no discernible impact on systems sales. The WiiU has passed the point where they would, and the Switch has yet to reach the point where they can.
