Did this ever happen with the DS or Wii?

It happens here in Japan with every non-ms console, but who am I to break the narrative?

Hint: even happened for the ultra successful WiiU.

I doubt it happened to the PS Vita or PS4 outside of the launch period, let alone 3 months after launch without a big game launching.

Hint: Switch is outselling Wii U, PS Vita and PS4 (in the same time period) in Japan. Only tracking below 3DS, but that sold like a beast in Japan (and Switch would be ahead without supply constraints).
