Correct me if I'm wrong but when the Switch hits 100m that would make it the fastest platform to reach the mile as it would have done it in under 5 years (roughly about 4 years and 9 months), PS4 is the current fastest at 5 years and 7 months from what I can find.

The DS did it faster.

Sure, but the DS was roughly $150 (depending on model and year it was lower and higher I think), which adjusted for inflation is $221 today. So the DS was a decently cheaper console. Plus, the games sold adjusted for inflation at $44-51 each, so $9-16 cheaper. Both of these price points factor into people buying into a system, not just the hardware alone, as people will think in the future.

What the Switch has done selling at mainly $300 with $60 first party games is much more impressive than the DS in that time frame.
