Wow, those pre-lite DS numbers are atrocious, , especially March/April 2005, where it only did low XBO, even almost Wii U numbers. Really didn't think it would have done that bad at the time

Yeah. The DS did relatively poorly prior to the release of the Lite. To compare it to other Nintendo handhelds plus the Switch:

Overall, it sold only 2.58M in all of 2005. Meanwhile, the GBA sold 4.75M in 2001, the 3DS sold 4.11M in 2011, and the Switch sold 4.89M in 2017.

Wonder what kind of numbers Switch will do this December. I'm sure it'll be up YOY

2.04 million sold in 2019, maybe 2.5-3 million in 2020? Though the 3.31 million of DS looks unreachable
