No one knew any of that before hand though. No one. Everyone thought it was a joke and laughed it out of every forum it was brought up in. The Switch hasn't released yet. When it does, and fails, then you have a point. Let's wait and see.

I think the point I'd put ou there is that the OP should just wait and see as well because none of this is evidence for shit, just circumstantial.  It's very similar to how JohnLucas would never accept the idea that the PS4, which at the time of its release was the strongest console that gen, could somehow win the sales of that generation because it hadn't happened before.  The pattern of "the strongest console has never won a gen" was just random and had more to do with price then actual console power, it wasn't an iron clad rule.  In the same way, these corollaries between wii and Switch or WiiU and Switch are all circumstantial and we should simply wait to see what happens.  

 

To you original post, people also thought that the Ouya was going to sell like shit, and it did.  People thinking something will fail is not an indicator that it's like the Wii.  

I never said thinking it's going to fail=success. I just wanted to point out that a Nintendo console had, at one time, been the subject of every joke and ended up winning the entire generation so as to make him take pause before jumping to conclusions.
