(Repost from Famitsu thread)
So, I did a bit of digging and calculating for when the DS Lite and 3DS XL launched in Japan and how they affected DS and 3DS sales respectively before and after their launch.
DS Lite - Launched March 2, 2006:
Before: 43,765
After: 124,286 - 184% increase
3DS XL - Launched July 28, 2012
Before: 43,291
After: 239,273 - 453% increase
This is how the Switch Lite would affect sales next week if it has one of those two percentage increases:
Before: 51,619
After (184%) 146,590
After (453%) 285,303
We should expect the Switch Lite affect to be somewhere in the middle, although I think we'll get something closer to the DS Lite effect than the 3DS XL one. Next week's numbers are going to be big ones; Very important ones for the Switch and Nintendo.
