Switch 2017 is ahead of every 3DS year

[curl-6]

Very telling that Switch is doing better at $300 than 3DS did at $170. And that's with 3DS getting two extra months (Jan and Feb) to boot.

Barring some catastrophe, Switch is pretty much a lock to outsell 3DS lifetime I reckon, it's just a much better and more appealing system. The whole portable/console thing is a much more attractive "gimmick" than 3D, its software library is off to a much better start and will almost certainly eclipse 3DS's completely in time, and it has far fewer hardware flaws. (One analogue stick, crappy C-stick on the New model, cheap build quality, 240p screen, etc)
