For me, it's WiiU -> Switch.

I have a soft spot for the WiiU, but let's face it: it was a disappointment. It allowed for some very cool asynchronous gameplay and hosted 6 or 7 of the best games of all time, but it was slow and clunky, it wasn't properly supported by third-party publishers (AAA or otherwise) or by Nintendo, and its signature controller, the GamePad, quickly became an albatross.

The Switch, meanwhile, is arguably the best video game system ever made. Incredibly versatile and accessible hardware, extraordinary support from Nintendo (that has lasted 9+ years), and plenty of brilliant "AA" and "A" games.

Some other contenders: NES -> SNES, SMS -> Genesis, GBC -> GBA

Yup. Wii U has some gems and has more personality in its OS, but is slower, clunkier and with less games worth playing.

If you're not a collector or modder, a Wii U has been virtually worthless since around 2018-2019. It can play Wii games, sure. But just get a Wii then.

Switch 2: 120 million (was 116 million)

PS4: 120 mil (was 100 then 130 million, then 122 million) Xbox One: 51 mil (was 50 then 55 mil)

3DS: 75.5 mil (was 73, then 77 million)
