You do realize that going from 15.88% to 19.59% is a 23.36% increase, right?

Also, in what sense are PS3, X360, Wii U, and Vita current systems?

US: NS / (NS + PS4 + XOne) = 4.84%
UK: NS / (NS + PS4 + XOne) = 3.38% ± 0.55% (Assuming Switch is between 245,217 and 341,609)

So Switch is already doing at least 14.0% better in US than UK, and it could be doing up to 58.9% better (which is what VGChartz says).

Why are you talking about % increases of marketshare (which is already a %)? That just seems a really weird way to compare things. Seems much more normal to me to just talk about the standard % difference, ie. 3.7

Also, PS3/X360/WiiU/Vita not exactly being current isn't really relevant. I was making the point that Nintendo's UK sales aren't that far behind the US (in terms of marketshare). And the best way to do that is to look at last gen as well.

No, your way of comparing percentages is ridiculous. We're talking about the relative performance of Nintendo in the UK and USA.

If Nintendo had 1% marketshare in the UK, and 4% in the USA, you wouldn't say "Wow, Nintendo's marketshare in the USA is barely ahead of its marketshare in the UK! There's only a 3% difference!" You would say "Wow, Nintendo's marketshare is 4 times as big in the USA as it is in the UK!"
