It is also worth remembering this game only had one holiday so far-and it was the launch holiday. Skyrim is keeping a steady 10k-15k during regular weeks,I can imagine it doing very well during year's end.

Take a look at the sales of the three versions on current consoles. As is visible, the holidays, sales and so on had no major effect (we see a small holiday increase but nothing major). The major sales were in the launch period and the Switch-version is actually following this pattern. In the first 10 weeks on PS4 it sold a little more than 2M, since then it has added just short of another million. XBox-version sold 1,28M in the first ten weeks and adds another 420K in the following 74 weeks. So on PS4 the legs were 50% of initial sales, on XBox 33%. Even if we assume the Switch-version doubles it's sales from the first ten weeks, we land at 1.2M.

First those are numbers whithout digital sales, so Switch already passed 1m phisical+digiltal, also I dont think we need to look at XB1/PS4 sales to get conclusion, fact is that Switch version of game is still keep selling very good, for instance in NPD sales Skyrim is still every month among top 10 best selling Switch games.
