Just like they did with the Wii right? Some people were so sure those non-gamers would convert to being gamers and stick around.

What Nintendo did I compare to breathing into a balloon, it swell and then reverted back to its natural position.

Switch isn't anything like that, Switch is just taking up the handheld market left by the 3DS.

If the market is the same, sharing the same desires and expectations, then why didn't the 3DS sell like hotcakes for 250$?

it isn't the same.... 

nintendo's main market is the same market that buys an $80 tablet with android and downloads angry bird and sonic for 5 bucks or less...... 

think about it... mobile has the top Final fantasy games, the top call of duty games, the top racing games.... all cheaper and easy to play..... vs a switch that can't even play netflix.... it's a niche product, it's a great product... but they are competing against a monster market.
