Und er ward nie wieder gesehen... Seriously, that gap is only going to grow over the years, I can't understand those who expect the Switch to still sell less than the 3DS did

Especially when you remember that at this point, 3DS had already had a significant price cut AND a hardware revision (3DS XL) and yet the Switch, which has had neither so far, is still outselling it to this point--pulling away no less!

And not just pulling away a little bit, but by almost half a million in the last month alone!
