I don't know.  The OLED preorders sold out within minutes, despite the Steam Deck being announced the same day.  But, even if it does no better than the New 3DS line, those systems still added around 15 million units, which was 20% of 3DS' lifetime total.

Whatever that means? How many pre-orders were available? 10,000? 100,000? 10,000,000?

Where did you get the New 3ds sales figures, by the way? I'm not doubting them, I would just enjoy seeing those myself. I didn't think we had figures for literally every iteration of 3ds, but I'd be happy to see them! Or did you just calculate how many 3ds were sold after the new lineup came out? If the second option, a lot of standard 3ds' would have also been sold during that period so the 15 million would be divided between all the iterations that were out at that point, but again if you have data breaking down each iteration I'd love to see that.

It still shows demand.  You currently can't place an order for either color variation through Target, Best Buy, Walmart, or even Amazon.

As for the New 3DS, I got the numbers from Wikipedia which links to Nintendo's financial reports for 2017 & 2019.
