What percentage of all Turbos sold in America (so not PC-Engines or eurografxs) do you think were Turbos vs Duos vs Expresses? What did you actually see back in the day?

Turbo's and Expresses is what I would guess. I knew a few people with Turbo's (myself included), and I knew one guy with an express, but I didn't know anyone with a CD attachment or duo - I'll be curious to hear the final resolution to this thread!

I’d say TG-16s were probably 70/1 to Duos. There was nearly zero Turbo CD presence and rolling out the Duo didn’t do anything to turn it around.
Turbo 16s were clearly massively overproduced from the first batch. I think there is some kinda recently unearthed anecdote about that. The ones they marked down to $50 and threw in the extra chip with in 1991 were probably the same ones that were $180 or whatever in 1988.
Back in the day I was the only one in my town I knew with a Duo and my brother had the only TG-16. I knew more people with Neos, I’m pretty sure.
