This is a bit baffling.

Its tracking on par with 3DS which had an $80 price cut to $170 after 5 months while Switch is still at $300 with more expensive software & accessories.

3DS is not at 72m and growing. 3DS level sales really should be the minimum, not the max.

The 3DS was doing as well as the DS two years in but that didn't mean it was going to do DS sales.

I dont think anyone expected 3DS to outsell the DS. Like, ever.

It only tracked ahead for a while because DS didnt really get into beast mode until DS lite in 2006.
