Absolutely not a disappointing week for Switch, Nintendo always performs much better in December and this isnt just a regular December, it has Smash as well.

That's how I feel as well. Doesn't really seem disappointing to me. I guess the PS4 winning by about 50k is kind of a kick in the balls considering how old it is but it's to be expected by this point. Nintendo always does better in December. 

I just haven't kept up with hardware predictions enough to know if this is considered a disappointment, but going by some of the comments in this thread it seems like it was to some people.

I don't get the notion of old. The lifecycle of a successful console usually sees rising sales until peak and then slow decrease which is starting to get faster over time. So new consoles sell less than older ones.PS4 is just over the peak, so pretty near at the maximum sales it gets.

Only failed consoles have their highest sales near launch.
