You see no evidence that Switch "launch" was massive worse than what it could have been when it had stocks problems for literally all 2017 and cost more than any Nintendo consoles the first year? ( Even Wii U was at ~300$ after 1 year)
You just ignore facts:
Switch cost ~300$ ( actually more in some country, like Europe which is ~330€ )
At that price, Nintendo had stocks problem for all 2017, which mean the 2017 numbers, aka ~15m , were less than the actual demand.
First Nintendo still has to sell Switch at ~300/330 to all people who want a Switch at this price, and looks like there is still much to go, then they can even drop the price, at 250$, and will be still bigger than any others Nintendo console.
Oh, did i even mention Pokemon and all the line up?

Why did the 3DS not get to DS level of sales? What has happened to mobile gaming market from nov 2004 to now? We all know its the introduction of powerful smartphone and tablet devices. Why would this trend reverse?
There is clearly a demand from early adopters that still want a Nintendo gaming device. I think Nintendo has created an extra surge by combining their home console with their handheld but there is no reason to think that the audience of casual mobile buyers will grow. If anything it will shrink as more start to use other devices. I do not think it will shrink at the same rate that the DS to 3DS did.
After being on this site for over a decade, I have learned that launches do not always tell the full story. If it did the PS3 would be dead and the Wii would have sold more than the PS2. The XB1 would still be outselling the 360 ect..

they will give you the silly reason that it got a price, failing to realize that ds was still much cheaper in it's first year. so that it had nothing to do with why its didn't reach 100 million.
