Am I missing something or is this just completely wrong? Looking at the weekly chart index shows the 3DS way above these numbers for those weeks and actually quite similar to how the Switch is doing currently.

Yep they are wrong. Here are the weeks before and after the successor released for the 3DS and DS:

Week 3DS DS
1 105,360 92,318
2 36,735 35,970
3 28,735 25,305
4 25,992 24,792
5 27,264 26,104
6 26,754 25,278
7 21,820 21,096
3DS launch 22,389 19,605
Switch launch 25,758 17,647
10 23,827 14,144
11 44,821 14,904
12 42,754 19,166
13 33,476 20,046
14 25,738 17,695
15 23,916 14,789
16 22,397 12,247
17 22,754 15,277
18 26,175 17,225
19 16,912 8,935
20 17,132 8,436
21 17,762 8,746
22 15,897 8,829
23 14,989 8,869
24 14,738 9,469
25 14,523 8,173
26 15,442 8,313

Or in other words both consoles don't drop to their new base lines (around 15k and 8-9k respectively) until about 2 months after the launch of the successor.

Interesting how it took the same amount of time for both. If the same holds for the Switch we're looking at August till the launch starts impacting it in a big way. The main question is if it'll be more like the DS and have another drop right away in June or stay more stable for stretch like the 3DS.

Both the Switch and PS5 with new lows for the year. That's fine for the former but the latter is starting to get dangerously low considering it's supposed to last another 2-3 years.

Wow yeah you're right, I mixed things up here. I'll delete this since someone else shared it in a clearer and more accurate data.

How did you mix things up?
