Hm, I wasn't expecting a negative reaction to this; to me these were decent sales. If anything, it's a new region for the Switch to start accumulating sales.

We live in a world with nearly 8 billion people, and yet 100 million sales is sort of the benchmark for a "hall of fame" console.

Out of curiosity, I looked up "population of developed world" and the first result claimed 1.3 billion people. Jeez... Nevermind my last paragraph. Selling 100 million consoles to 1.3 billion people is looking quite good, now.

More interesting facts about population:

1987 => 5 billion
1999 => 6 billion
2012 => 7 billion
2019 => 7.7 billion (current)

Interesting to see how much the population has increased in my lifetime. I was born in 1988, so the world has recently hit 5 billion people when I was spawned.
