PS4 and Xbox One sales are looking to be down 35-40% worldwide this year when compared to 2019. Switch through the first half of 2020 will likely be up 10-15% thanks to the Switch Lite and Animal Crossing. 3DS, well, it is pretty dead at this point.

I feel like this number means less to me unless I get last years number right with it. So far I think it's well ahead of last year (Switch) so we have yet to reach a peak.

Why are Switch global sales down 50K compared to last week, when Americas, Europe and Asia numbers are almost the same?
