That XBOX Gap.
The Switch has come a long way.

Indeed, the gap was 28 million at Switch's launch and just 3.9 million now, so it has gained by roughly 24 million thus far.

I'd be interested to see a comparison of Switch with 360 and PS3 individually, since a lot of people's predictions have Switch landing close to those systems lifetime.

I've taken a quick look and the Switch is current light years ahead of the 360 and PS3 after 31 months. Xbox 360 is at 18.7M and the PlayStation 3 is at 20.9M. That is well below the 38.75M the Switch has sold to date. The 360 and PS3 had a long lifespan, so it is possible in a few years the gap will start to close. 

Ah, didn't realize the difference would be quite that stark. I suppose PS3/360 didn't exactly race out of the gates.

So Switch is so far selling twice as fast as the 360 and a little under twice as fast as PS3.
