How could it have one of the best launch ever (probably THE best launch year ever) and end up getting almost outsold by the xbox one lol ?

It would need to drop at around 10 millions per year starting FY 2018 to F2021 (dying after 5 years) while it's going to do around 15 millions on launch year with stock issues and none of Nintendo's biggest sellers. (Mario 3D is far from the best system seller.) Again, 50 millions would be a catastrophe. Even the Xbox one will, hopefully, surpass that number.

Yeah 3DS shipped 50 million in under 4 years and Switch shipments will be very similar to 3DS shipments after 13 months (~17 million).

Switch sales would have to take a huge hit not to reach 50 million.

Yes exactly and also considering they want to sell more than 20 million switch during the next FY. They are pretty careful with their predictions with the Switch and I don't think they would say something like this if it wasn't a given. It might be even bigger now with the amazing holiday it had.
