at the same time switch will look MUCH better then its really doing after the holiday because of launching in march. we are not talking about only US sales only, were talking about WW sales. ps4 after its holiday launch, has shipped near or more then 8 million  during every holiday quarter. despite what you call being a disadvantage, is actually a advantage. really switch shipped 2.74 during march, and had massive shortages, ps4 shipped 4.2 million during the whole holidays, seems like a very small difference compared to ps4 regular holidays with no shortages, not to mention ps4 launch boost which basically goes down the drain.  

Worldwide sales don't ever tell the whole story. We need to look at things on a regional basis. So far, the Switch is pulling numbers for the April-Oct. period in the U.S. that are not too far behind what the PS4 did in the same period in 2014. In Japan, it's far outstripping the PS4's sales. In Europe, it appears to be trailing the PS4 by a good amount. I think we'll see the Switch sell about 4.5-4.75M in the U.S., 3.5-3.75M in Europe, and 3.75-4M in Japan, for a global total of 14M, plus or minus 500k. And I gave my lifetime estimates for both regional and global sales in my earlier post.

Also, shipments ≠ sales.

i'm honestly not getting your point. we are talking about LTD shipments here, nothing else matters, we can look at holiday launches and they are not the advantage people make them out to be, and we have numbers that prove this, with the launch boost going the drain because of the holidays, and low shipments holiday launches are a very small advantage, switch could have matched ps4 holidays launh if it had enough stock.
