Switch above, 3DS below. Percentages are rounded, so do not necessarily add up to 100.0%. "Europe" was not its own category during the 3DS era, so it's part of "Other".

Region	Hardware	Software	Tie Ratio
Japan	13.33m (38.1%)	44.84m (36.6%)	3.36
Americas	11.43m (32.7%)	42.81m (35.0%)	3.75
Other	10.22m (29.2%)	34.76m (28.4%)	3.40
Total	34.98m (100%)	122.42m (100%)	3.50

A breakdown to show how different the two systems performed. Switch's global breakdown is a lot more balanced because it's closer to a 20/40/40 split between Japan/Americas/Europe+Other which roughly represents the sizes of those regions. Switch sells a lot more software than the 3DS, not just because of higher hardware sales, hence why tie ratio is an important figure.

Obviously, such comparisons will become increasingly more lopsided in Switch's favor with each passing quarter. The third full fiscal year was the last good one for the 3DS, afterwards it will be a slaughter.

Hopefully this is the end of all those "Switch will sell on par with 3DS" proclamations we got from late 2017 through last year, and even into this year.
