No.

To the prediction based upon nothing; not so much as an explanation as to why PS4 sales would be so heavily front loaded such as the case was with the Wii, the short answer is no.

I'd say this prediction should be pinned in your signature, but my guess is that you'll be long gone before 2-3 years is up.

And what do you say about people who say the exact samething about the 3DS?

I haven't heard anyone saying the exact same thing about the 3DS. 

Go ahead and post links so I can poke a bunch of holes in their wish fulfillment theories as well. 

The 3DS is essentially keeping Nintendo afloat currently and I don't see that changing even over the next 2-3 years.

Ur second link has nothing to do with 3DS and I need to clear something up. Nobody has said 3DS will sell over 70% of its lifetime sales in the first 2-3 years. They are saying it has peaked meaning sales arent likely to be higher for any given year. Peaking and selling majority of lifetime sales are not the same thing at all.

For example, Wii had its peak sales year in 2008 meaning no individual year before or after was able to sell more than 2008. By the end of 2008 Wii lifetime sales were about 43m, thats roughly about 40% of current Wii lifetime totals. Even tho Wii had peaked in 2008, from 2009-2013 it was able to sell an additional 60m or so units.
