Your false assumptions will get you nowhere

That is completely different from what you said originally,

"looking at how the Wii U did, we are able to project how we feel the Switch will do; especially in markets outside of Japan where the handheld piece isn't a major selling point"

3DS has sold 4x as much as Wii U outside of Japan which completely disproves your original statement.

Price was certainly an issue initally but it had alot of other things going against it, most notably a terrible post-launch software lineup, something that Switch does not have. As for multiple iterations, thats true for all handhelds and many consoles so that point is irrelevant.

It isn't the opposite of what I said at all.  What I am saying is the home console market for the Switch isn't really there based on the home console market as it stands today.  Neither of my posts invalidate that.  I am also saying that those who will buy it as a handheld, which is what you were presumably arguing with your 3DS point, will be hesitant to do so as they were with the 3DS outside of Japan at launch.

The Switch has a poor launch lineup (Zelda really being the only system seller) outside of Japan and the actual post launch support isn't known in full.  Which, I also said in a different post might swing my view.

The idea that the iterations is irrelevant though is remarkably short sighted and not true.  Look at the XB1S.  It has revitalized the XB1 in the US.  That is relevant because the initial Switch offering might just do poorly enough to require another iteration or an immediate price drop.  Especially given the price point and the history of those handheld people - that your posts indicate you think will flock to the device - not buying at that price.

As of now, Switch has Zelda at launch, Mario Kart in April (still a big game regardless of being an updated port), ARMS in Spring & Splatoon 2 in Summer along with a steady stream of smaller Japanese & indie games mixed in. 3DS on the other hand had virtually nothing noteworthy with the exception of Ocarina of Time 3D between launch and the price cut.

I must have misunderstood what you meant by your iterations statement. I though you were discrediting its sales because it had multiple revisions. Either way, revisions are almost gauranteed considering most gaming devices recieve revisions throughout their life.

But none of this really changes that your original statement was completely wrong.
