Not really comparable just like that since 3DS as well as DS had much larger install base at the time of respective mainline releases.
A better picture would be to calculate attach rate based on install base of each title. I don’t think Sword and Shield had a weaker opening considering.
EDIT:
Found this number on Twitter not sure if correct but if then say Sun/Moon did 1.9m on 22m installed, meaning if you calculate up for S/S from 1.36 on 10m install base to 22m install base you would get a equivalent amount of 2.72m copies for S/S.
So beating Sun/Moon even by far
