Damn the GBA had an insane launch in Japan. I dunno whether that or the 3DS catching up in the 2nd half is more impressive.

Yeah people often don't realize how much of a beast the GBA was because it's time as Nintendo's flagship handheld was cut short after less than 5 years, resulting in a final tally somewhat lower than the Gameboy. During that relatively short span though it was one of the fastest selling systems ever at the time.
