Kicking Xbox One's ass apparently. At least Sony has already publicly announced that the Switch shouldn't be taken lightly.

Fantastic sales, Nintendo truly hit it out of the park so far with the Switch. They fully deserve the success they have here, they've earned it. The Switch's first year isn't even over yet either.

Just to hammer home how stupid your comments are, look at all positive comments with green thumbs up. Seems like you're the one with a complex :)
