Global Hardware 15 December 2018

Going back to the actual numbers, when was the last time a Nintendo device outsold Playstation and Xbox combined like this? Has that happened before with the Switch, or not since the days of the Wii?

Nintendo may have pissed away Jan-Oct

So 10 months of the year pissed away ;p

Pretty much, their first real system seller for the year was Let's Go in mid November, so the first 10.5 months of 2018 they were rolling along in neutral. At least they're having a monstrous December thanks to the one-two punch of Let's Go and Smash 5, but ideally a year should have heavy hitters dispersed throughout to keep momentum high.
