  1. Dang I knew this would happen, but I didn’t think it’ll be this quick, wish I could go back in time when the switch was first introduce and people thought the system was dead on arrival, doom, and would never reach the sales of the wii.

  2. Wait, are these numbers just for Japan? World wide the Wii has sold just over 100 million units, I’d be stunned if Switch already did that.

    1. Just Japan. I looked it up and it’s sold 50 million so far as of early Feb, but people stuck in quarantine is helping sales. Right now it’s at $550 due to the demand.
