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.

That doesn't really matters, like I wrote, 3DS from start sold less than Nintendo predicted and expected, Nintendo wasn't happy at all with 3DS sales and thats why 3DS had fast and big price cut. While Switch is quite opposite, its selling better and demand is stronger than Nintendo expected, that's why Nintendo shiped more units than they initially planned in March and that's why they decided to double Switch production.

Of Course we can wait and see, but current great sales and future strong releases tells us that Switch will most likely continue selling good.
