Totally different situation, 3DS from start sold less than Nintendo predict and expected, Switch is quite opposite, its selling better and demand is stronger than Nintendo expected.

Sales will almost certain not drop, MK8D is launching tomorrow, and then we have ARMS and Splatoon 2, and we know for sure that Splatoon 2 will set Japan on fire, so Switch will stay strong through summer, and later we will have some other games and offcourse huge new 3D Mario for holiday season.

The 3DS still did better at launch. It shipped almost 1M more in its first quarter.

As for sales, we'll have to wait and see.

The 3DS didn't sell through its initial shipment until 5 months later. You are badly misinformed if you think the 3DS did better at launch.

3DS NA shipments for March 2011: 1.32 million

3DS March 2011 NPD: 396k

Switch NA shipments for March 2017: 1.20 million

Switch March 2017 NPD: 906k

See the difference?
