Anyone still seriously saying the Switch is going to fail?

With how much months of data? The 3DS had steadily maintained high sales 4 years (52 mil). There's no proof that the Switch will achieve that same feat. You can't be certain that the Switch will outsell the 3DS, otherwise, that is a delusion. Right now, the Switch is obviously doing well in its early months. But there is no evidence that will be maintained. Right now, the only killer future app is Pokemon, and we don't even know if that's 2018. 

There's a difference between being certain that the Switch will outsell the 3DS, and merely recognizing that the factors that influence the success of a console are stronger for the Switch than the were for the 3DS. But since you brought it up, which games were "killer apps" for the 3DS?

Read again. I said a lot of the 3DS' eventual success derived off affordability, which meant games weren't as big a factor. The Switch doesn't have that advantage. Therefore, games are more important for the Switch. But the only system seller I'm foreseeing is Pokemon. Fire Emblem, Kirby, Yoshi...they don't really sell systems.
