Well, this thread never got updated after January! xD

Here's updated table.

NPD	Switch (2018)	Wii (2008)
January	270,000	274,000
February	279,000	432,000
March	308,000	721,000
April	171,000	714,000
May	166,000	675,000
June	325,000	667,000
July	263,000	555,000
August	203,000	453,000
September	259,000	667,000
October	255,000	803,000
November		2,040,000
December		2,150,000
Total	2,499,000	10,151,000

My current prediction for November is 1.25m and December 2m. Which would mean the Switch reached 5.75m for the year.

It has a small chance to beat Wii in December I think, but other then that January is the only month it came close.

Thanks for updating the numbers. The Wii was truly a beast. Strangely in December the sales were flat compared to November. Was the Wii supply limited?

I am pretty sure Wii was supply limited.  It was pretty infamous in the US for being supply limited during 2006-2008, especially during the holidays.  Ironically this will probably mean Switch will beat the Wii in December.  Nintendo only has 2 big guns this year, Pokemon and Smash, and they saved them both for the end of the year.  If they end up running some of their many bundles at $299 during December, then I think its a guarantee that Switch will win this last month.  We'll just have to wait and see.
