Ultimately 4.4 million for Switch 2 sold through 7 months and in its first year in the US is still fantastic, still the best selling hardware out of the gate in the US by a large margin over PS4, Switch 1.
Looking back at older holiday seasons though, man have things changed like Dec 2011 (estimates):
Dec, 2011:
360 - 1.73m
3DS - 1.60m
Wii - 1.06m
PS3 - 0.95m
DS - 0.63m
PSP - 0.26m
You can definitely see there's much less hardware overall being sold today. Granted I think this was actually the 3DS' best holiday season in the US, it would be downhill from here.
For Dec 2012 I get:
Xbox 360: 1.4M (-17.6%) ["More than double the amount of the second place console in the U.S. in the month of December."]
3DS: 1.25M (-21.8%)
Wii: 475K (-55.2%)
DS: 470K (-25.4%)
Wii U: 460K [The Wii launch was 604K]
