Wii and PS4 both released on the holidays, so they have that advantage. It will be more interesting and fair to compare the first 12 months of each console.

Btw, these results really surprised me. I thought Switch would be at 7m, but it's actually at 7.6m, so I guess that 10m this year is really a given at this point. Might as well reach 12m.

Saying 10m this year is a given is quite an understatement actually. If it sold 2.9m last quarter, something would have to go horribly wrong for it to sell under 2.4m in the last 3 months of 2017. And by horribly wrong, I mean probably like I don't know, a meteor falling straight down on Nintendo's headquarters or something.

12m this year feels almost like a safe guess, which is insane to think about. Even I didn't see this coming and I was optimistic about the console's performance from day one (day one being October 20th last year, not March 3rd this year).

It's crazy that the Switch will sell  close to Wii U's lifetime sales in just 1 year.
