Stories 2 picking up steam; the first game opened at 140k, will be interesting to see if 2 can match that, as I think 3DS had a considerably bigger base at the time of 1's release in 2016.

Currently Switch has about 20 million units sold in Japan. I can't imagine the 3DS had a considerably bigger base in 2016 given the total lifetime to date sales of about 24.5 million units in Japan altogether.

It was a bit higher, but yeah I'd gotten too used to Switch being far behind 3DS in lifetime sales and forgot for a moment how fast the gap was closing.

Digital is a much bigger factor on Switch than on 3DS though so even if Switch has a lower physical opening it may match it including downloads, and will probably have longer legs as its arriving less late in the system's lifespan.
