the article lists a source. Game Watch. Translated from Japanese to English.

"Cumulative domestic sales of Nintendo's game console "Nintendo Switch" series exceeded 33.34 million units. It exceeded the record for the Nintendo DS series of 32.99 million units, making it the best-selling game console in history in Japan."

This is much easier if you read the article and check the sources yourself.

I didn't realize the DS was so popular, it sold ~2x compared to the GBA, which was my personal GOAT.

mine as well. I had a gba sp that I used until the plastic showed under the paint from wear and the hinge no longer clicked.

loved that console.
