April 2020 is the 38th month that the Nintendo Switch has been available for in the US.

The 3DS launched in March 2011 in the US and the Wii U launched in November 2012, while the Nintendo Switch launched in March 2017. The holiday periods between the Switch and 3DS lineup, however, the Wii U holiday is offset from the Switch.

The 38th month for the Nintendo Switch is April 2020, for the Nintendo 3DS it is April 2014 and for the Wii U it is December 2015. The Switch has sold 19.25 million units, while the 3DS and Wii U have sold 17.25 million units during the same timeframe. The 3DS and Wii U did not reach current Switch sales until month 46.

The 3DS and Wii U have sold a combined 28.85 million units in the US. The Switch is currently 9.60 million units behind. The Wii U has been off the market for a few years, while the 3DS is still on the market. However, 3DS sales have shrunk considerably and is selling well under 10,000 units per week.

Sayonara suckers; Switch is going to smash the benchmark many set for it by arguing that as a successor to both platforms it had to outsell them combined to succeed.
