Failed Switch predictions of analysts

Honestly, things really didn't look good for the Switch at launch. But the understocking of the system really worked wonders.

And the fact that this is a handheld, and that Nintendo has no more competitor in the dedicated handeld market really helped too.

But as far as long terms sales goes, I still don't think it will top the 3DS.

This has nothing to do about the system being understocked.If the demand wasnt there at first, the console wouldnt sell regardless.The low stock might have a few people buy the system earlier than they wanted?Sure, but theser people would have bought regardless(Given the games announced, probably before holiday season) and it would be a significant number.

And the Switch has the advantage to also being a handheld, on top of being a home console.Its an advantage that should be disregarded as not something that wasnt planned, if you understand what I mean.Its simply Nintendo playing to its strenghts and understanding the reality of the market(at the very least on Japan)
