Are kidding me ? 3DS had sold a total of 9.5M units week ending December 10th 2011 according to VGC while Switch at just over 10M units as of December 10th 2017 according to Nintendo themselves. It means every week since the beginning of December the 3DS has started closing the gap with the Switch and not even the 3DS managed an average of 250K units per week during the quarter after the holiday ... 

Also the 3DS started outselling the Switch every month WW according to VGC's figures since it's price cut barring October for obvious reason(s) ... 

You're right. In 4 weeks of December 3DS sold over 4 million units. It was by far the best holiday season for it to date.  In fact it was the best first December of any console on VGC.  Switch will have really hard time topping it.

Maybe it wasn't clear enough in my previous post, but I was betting on high sales in January and February - higher than those of the 3DS at the time and high enough to keep the Wii at bay for some time

After all, my reply was just meant to the idea that Wii could only be overtaken for a week, while I think it can manage to stay ahead a bit longer than that.
