As Kakadu18 said, DS is faster.

Here's how long it took every console to get to 100m (including Switch already).

DS = 232 Weeks
Switch = 251 Weeks
PS2 = 300 Weeks (Shipped)
PS4 = 305 Weeks
Wii = 367 Weeks
PS1 = Roughly 500 Weeks (Shipped)
Gameboy = Roughly 580 Weeks (Shipped)

Poor Wii. It could’ve, should’ve, done this like a 100 weeks faster, but, yeah.

Indeed, taking 1 full year to go from 95 million shipped to 99 million in 2012, what a downfall.

I am very curious about 2022 sales for the Nintendo Switch. With the chip shortage continuing, making the next gen consoles still unavailable (or hardly), it has still room for a 3rd year above 20 million.
