It did worse than the 3DS XL but better than every thing else, very good launch for the system.
The DS Lite was heavily supply constrained, hence the softer launch. pic.twitter.com/pegTECvbmz

airhorns.wav Switch is a beast, a lovely lite little beast. If you have only seen the Switch lite btw and have held a regular Switch I would really recommend picking the system up just to see how truly LITE the thing is, it's amazing that something so tiny can pump out games like Doom2016, and the screen is so crisp on it thanks to the slightly smaller size.
It honestly feels amazing to hold
Woah, it's a really close second too! And it beat the DSi!
Wow the VITA is not even on the chart. Kinda shows how much of a footing Sony has been losing in Japan over the years, being a mainly mobile country and all. At least the PS4 Pro is on there, but even that was front loaded.
I think Vita slim is not a revision of Vita, is PlayStation TV
Funny how the DSlite had quite a modest launch...
