For what its worth my router tells me this:
IPv6 routes: 1'577 entries, 1'194 AS numbers IPv4 routes: 274'504 Ientries, 30'488 AS numbers
If the wold would be all IPv6, our routers would need 10 times less memory ;-)
Do you think that if IPv6 is used worldwide the number of ASs would be smaller then today? The same question is also true for the number of networks. This is the biggest lie of IPv6. The routing table will not get smaller and will gain the same exponential growth that IPv4 has now. If the world would be all IPv6 you would need at least 4 times as much memory on your routes. Most probably you need to replace most because their CAMs are to small or the ASICs do not support IPv6.
