Low January numbers all around.  Still it kind of shows how well each system is doing.

Switch:PS4
2:1

PS4:XB1
3:1

XB1:3DS
13:1

Basically Switch is thriving.  PS4 is in serious decline.  XB1 is almost done.  3DS is just plain done.

3DS is dead. Will probably be discontinued next FY.

PS4 really hurting in Japan
XBO hurting everywhere.

Switch soaring to new heights. 2020 should become its best year.
