The UK is an anomaly for the Switch as while it is doing well it is relatively not doing crazy numbers like we have seen in North America or Japan. 

VGChartz estimates have the Xbox Series X|S at 1.54M units as of October 1 in the UK. If sales are flat year-over-year for the rest of 2022 it wouldn't reach 2M sold until early 2023. Or not until at least like week 115-120. If sales are up year-over-year it will likely be around when the Xbox 360 reached 2M. Mind this is if the VGChartz estimates for the Xbox Series X|S in the UK are as spot on as they are for PS5. 

Is the UK also an anomaly for the Xbox Series selling slower than the Xbox One so far? 

Correct. Though the Xbox Series X|S has actually been tracking behind the Xbox One in the US as well. This is mainly due to the shortages earlier on. The Xbox Series X|S is less than 200K behind the Xbox One in the US now. The Xbox Series X|S did launch in the majority of the world, while the Xbox One only launched in like 12 countries and didn't release in a lot of the world until nearly a year later. Plus there were no Xbox One shortages.
