Now that you have seen the Nintendo Switch do you think it will be successful?

Can anyone tell me how the 3DS was doing when it released at $249? I mean saleswise. Was it doing well?

Was selling around 80-100k for a while. Hit as low as 30k right before the price cut. It had a bad launch line up and huge games drought (only offset by a remake-Ocarina of time). 3DS support was worse than Wii U for its first  9months. 

 

Nintendogs+cats and Steeldiver were the first party games it was selling off. Street Fighter V was the big third party game.

If Nintendo thought that the library was the issue they would have waited 3 more months for Mario 3D Land and a further month for Mario Kart to come out. They knew that people didn't want a $249 handheld.
