Let's settle this: if people were willing to buy 154 and 157 million DS and PS2, that tells how appealing the consoles were. No matter how long they lasted.

The 3DS lasted like forever and had 47 SKUs and sold at a very low price at the end and couldn't reach 80 million.

It's more nuanced than that. The GBA would've sold a lot more if it lasted longer so despite it selling selling less was more appealing than consoles like the PS3 and 360 were.
