Gameboy is probably as close to a sleeper hit video game system as has ever been. While it wasn’t a weak launch, the initial 5-7 year general lifespan of a system was only a moderate success, coming in below the level of the SNES… At year 6, PS4 was more than doubles Gameboy. Then  Pokémon comes out, and not too long after Gameboy rockets into the high tier and surpasses PS4.

Actually the Gameboy crawl with it's last strenght to surpass the PS4. It had peak year with almost 19M after which a massive drop to 4.7M and then short of even 300k. That's probably the biggest cliff in history.

I stand corrected. After year 6, the Gameboy just crawled another ~75 million sales.
