You are cherry picking, we are talking about the dedicated gaming market, you cant just pick and choose which ones you want to compare with.
In 2014, PS3/360 had reached a saturation point and were rapidly declining. Vita/Wii U never gained traction and sold poorly throughout. 3DS had already peaked at this point and was starting to decline. XBO was still dealing with its pre-release PR blunder (DRM, always online, Kinect required, etc) and was overpriced.
In 2017, PS4 is in its prime and having its best year yet. XBO is doing decent and it had big hype for its upgrade. Both had heavy holiday discounts. 3DS is still trucking along with pretty stable sales the last few years.
Switch having a prime PS4 to compete with easily gives it stronger competition than PS4 had in its first year competitng against a bunch of poor/mediocre selling devices.
PS4 in 2017 is much stronger competition than XBO in 2014.
But other than that, there are a whole bunch of other factors to include rather than just price like you were saying earlier.

I disagree PS4/xb1 market is now way more dependent on the casual market then then it's first year or 2. switch is coming out almost 4 years later it's in it's own generation. it basically has the core market to itself. i can guarantee if switch launched during 2013 with ps4/xb1 it wouldn't be doing anywhere near as good.

Wouldn't that mean the 3DS and Wii U would not exist? If that is the case, I would think the Switch would be selling more than what it is doing now.
