Okay, have you read anything at all in this thread? I'm honestly confused at how you missed pretty much all of the relevant information.
From the OP:
"The total number of Nintendo Switch systems sold in the United States through the end of October now stands at more than 2.6 million."
Nintendo announced that Switch sales in the United States alone were over 2.6 million by the end of October. In this thread, we were also discussing their previous announcment that Switch had passed 2 million in the United States by the end of September.
If you want to hear about the Americas as a whole, Nintendo shipped 3.11 million Switch units by the end of September.
Finally, 8 months versus 48 months is about your comment that Switch sales are unimpressive because they're 10% (which isn't true, 2.6 / 20 is not 10%) of PS4 sales, when Switch has been out for 8 months with zero holiday seasons, and PS4 has been out for 48 months and 4 holiday seasons.

Okay, sorry. It's good that you bring perspective to this and explain. I now realize that a few years from now, the Switch sales numbers will be several dozen million worldwide.
In my defense though, my reaction was quite similar to this Colin Moriarty guy, whoever that is:

Colin Moriarty was brought up to be mocked because his statment is illogical given that, in the United States, Switch in 2017 has been selling at the same pace as PS4 in 2014. Also, Colin is notorious for being blinded by his own bias toward Sony, since he famously wrote a sizeable IGN article about how Vita would be massively more successful than 3DS.
