Here's that chart I promised. I actually had one mostly formatted and it includes the 3DS, Wii U, PS4, and Switch. So far it only goes to 13 weeks. I'll extend it over time.

Nice chart!

If the Switch manages to hold it's sales numbers like this for a while, it will soon start to outsell Wii U + 3DS combined

Poor PS4 doesn't stand much of a chance in it's first 2 years, will probably get curbstomped by the Switch in launch aligned sales during that time

Switch already doubling Wii U. It's also tied with 3DS. It seem like the trend will continue and it will be above both next week. Being stable is much more important than having great launch numbers. Time will show the difference.

Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

So, with 45k on MC, Switch is now starting to outsell the 3DS WoW. And with some big hitters on the way, it probably won't drop in sales for a while now
