Switch vs 3DS in Japan Sales Comparison - January 2022

These charts are great.  For quite a long time 3DS was ahead of Switch in Japan.  And yet now Switch sales are still rocketing upward while 3DS is pretty much done.

I don't even know if I'd call this "legs" so much as "timing".  The 3DS had that big price cut early on.  That skewed it's sales curve near the beginning.  Meanwhile, it appeared Switch started strong, but then it turbo charged around around 2.5 years old or so.  And that turbo charge is really what is going to define the Switch's sales curve for most of its long lifespan.
