| curl-6 said: It's always interesting to see the DS vs Switch/PS4 comparisons, as both of the latter actually tracked ahead of it for quite some time, in spite of the former going on to pass 150 million lifetime. Only at 26 months did DS break ahead of Switch; would that happen to coincide with the DS Lite by any chance? |
DS Lite was more like ~18 months after launch (varies slightly by region) but yeah that was one of the key turning points for DS.
It was kind of a snowball effect though (using US dates, again varies by region)
