The dual screen thing may have been a selling point a decade ago, but these days almost every gamer would rather a game be on the single-screen Switch.

You must have all the data then..even including data that shows 3DS is still selling, albeit not as much.

Not all the data, but we know enough; 3DS is down to less than 50k weekly, down 62% year over year, it has just 3 games in the worldwide top 75. None of which is unusual; it is after all 7 years old and at the end of it's lifespan, it's only natural for it to be dying, as all platforms eventually do.

Conversely, the Switch is booming despite having a very quiet year so far in terms of big games. In both software and hardware sales, Switch absolutely dwarfs 3DS.
