Ehm... what?
I'll give you the time of launch, and the initial price was pretty high for a pure handheld which put it close to the Switch, but that's about it.
About the Lineup, the 3DS was starving during it's first year, unlike the Switch. Also, The 3DS needed a huge pricedrop to sell well, and even after that the sales where lower than what the Switch is achieving without any pricedrop
By your logic, we should compare the PS4 to the 360 and thus the PS4 wouldn't achieve more than 85M lifetime. Sounds Bullshit? Well, it is, but not more than your comparison of the Switch with the 3DS
Also, both the DS and the 3DS got revisions. New 3DS and DSi ring any bells?
About what you replied to my post: Moving the goalpost, much? First you claim the Switch can't keep up with the PS4 and now you say it's a great achievement for the PS4 to keep up with the Switch? Nevermind the fact that the PS4 is very established now and has a big library of games, it was to be expected that it would do very well this year (though I admit I didn't expect it to do that well). I also don't get where you got the slowest year, unless you meant the Switch with that, because it's by far and large the best year for the PS4 so far - and yet the PS4 gets beaten in the US repeatedly and trashed in Japan by the Switch. It's only in Europe where the PS4 really shines, though admittedly by a gig margin.
I don't think you mean any bad, but with clipping the Switch to the 3DS you made a fatal mistake because they are very different in how they went in their first year
Oh, and about Amazon: The Switch goes regularly out of stock there, just check the Amazon US thread and see for yourself. And what gets sold there are just preorders for the next shipments, as Amazon can't keep up with the demand; it hasn't really been in stock since the prelude to the Odyssey launch anymore.
