XB1 and 3DS are stable =p

Would love to see some users that say Sony only sell 100M consoles because they keep the system selling forever until they reach that number calculating how many weeks would take for 3DS to reach 100M with 4k per week. A great system but its time is about finished =[

Who says this?

PS2 - 157m
PS4 - 108m
PS1 - 102m
PS3 -   87m
PSP -   81m
PSV -   16m

Azzanation is pretty adamant of it.

Wasn't expecting Switch to drop so much and PS4 to increase so much so late even with FFVIIR, that can be considered a system seller.

The Switch sold 1.8m consoles in a 3 week period.  That tends to exhaust supply especially when a pandemic is affecting the global supply chain.  They are completely sold out online at Gamestop, Best Buy, & Target.  There are used Nintendo Switches listed on Amazon & Walmart for about $200 over the $299 MSRP proving it is a hard commodity to come buy even for the people who would have otherwise bought one.

Yep it sold tremendously well, that is why I found the drop quite abrupt, like the inventory exhausted at once.
