It's only disappointing in the context of extremely high expectations.  This is the second highest US year of the generation, and it was a narrow margin at that.  And Switch just had the highest December and the highest December+November period of the gen.  December was actually the biggest since I believe 2010.  The Switch had no price cuts at any time and only one 299 bundle available for a limited period.  If Nintendo can maintain performancd in this range consistently, the Switch will have a very strong lifetime sales total.  If it can go substantially above this, that would be very impressive.  But consistency would be preferable to a spike followed by steady ongoing decline.

Now I am even more disappointed because of a different reason: Your definition of generation.

I'm not even going to have this discussion here.  Generations are entirely arbitrary categorizations.  I've stated my opinion on this before, not going to repeat it here.  If you want to subscribe to the view that Switch is gen 9, be my guest.  Silly as I think thar view is.
