Maybe I'm missing something, but isn't this common for new consoles?

The Switch is practically brand-new, obviously it's going to outsell the competition!

It's more common for new consoles to struggle and get outsold by older consoles for a while.

In the Japanese market in recent times the 3DS came slow out of the gate, the Vita too, the Wii U as well, the PS4 also, the XB1 was and is a complete disaster. That's an entire generation of systems that didn't start well. Switch is the first console in a long time that consistently positioned itself at the top of the weekly Japanese hardware charts in its first year of availability.

Also worth of note, this thread/Kotaku compares Switch vs. PS4 launch aligned, so Switch in 2017 vs. PS4 in 2014.

Oh thats right! Forgot that the other consoles and handhelds this gen had a bad or decent start. Glad Switch is changing things!
