3DS did 4.3 million in its first year so not completely out of the question.

That launched at 249$ though, and 3months into it got price cut down to 170$.

I dont see it doing 4m in japan first year, I just dont.... well maybe if Nintendo gets a 199$ price on it before the holidays.

it was 5.5 months and what caused sales to be so low that a big price cut was needed? Lack of major software releases.

What major releases did 3DS have between the Febraury launch and the big Nov/Dec titles? Ocarina of Time 3D in June, that was literally it.

Switch has a much steadier flow of big games and i assume many of those predictions are based on the rumored Pokemon Stars, the hinted at Monster Hunter XX port and Dragon Quest XI releasing this year.
