That does not rule out the upcoming new model and summer doldrums from contributing to sales numbers this month and last though. A system's sales are influenced by multiple factors.

Yes, of course. This has some impact for sure, no arguing. But even without the summer and the new model Switch would again be down.

The DS I mentioned for two reasons.

1. The DS wasn't interested is it summer is it winter, were there games or no, were there new model coming or not, it showed that everything is possible, and you can't say something can't make very good because of whatever reason. Because always there is a way.

and 2. The DS did the same numbers in the summer it did in the spring and in the autumn, maybe only different was it's holiday of course.

If I wanted to comparing it I would compare every year and period, not just the summer. But yes, there is no impossible things.

Again though DS is an outlier, not typical of even a successful system, so it does not disprove the effect of slow times of the year or periods without big releases. PS4 for example in its 5th summer was lower than Switch is now.
