Ummm......what does this have to do with anything?

I said Switch wont be down YOY in Japan and you bring up how well 3DS did in 2012?

 

Edit: and why would Spring/Summer be worse? Jan/Feb had very few releases while Spring has a pretty steady flow of new releases coming and we know next to nothing about the summer lineup yet. The things you say are based on delusions.

No, the 3DS is nearly gaining a 2x advantage in hardware sales in Japan compared to the Switch at the start of their 2nd year. You say the Switch has a steady flow of new releases for this Spring but the only notable new release is LABO and Mario Tennis Aces (this has no solid date or month) but let's also not pretend that the 3DS won't be able to more than keep up with it's own notable new releases (KI: Uprising, KH:3D, FE:A, Mario Tennis, Brain Age, NSMB2) during a similar timeframe in this period ... (BTW their Mini Direct did cover games up to the summer season such as Ys VIII, SNK Heroines Tag Team Frenzy and possible even TWEWY Final Remix) 

My main argument wasn't even about the Switch possibly being down YOY, it's that it'll keep falling behind the 3DS in Japan and that NA/EU will need to make up the difference ... 

What the hell are you talking about, 3DS has nothing to do with what we are talking about.

You said Switch would be down YOY in Japan, i said it wouldnt and you brought up 3DS sales in 2012.

That is 100% irrelevent.

 

Yes it has a steady flow of games in Spring.

Dragon Quest Builders, Kirby, Hyrule Warriors, Attack on Titan, Labo Variety, Labo Robot, Tropical Freeze, Dark Souls, Mario Tennis and some others small titles im forgetting.

Like I said, we know next to nothing abouy Summer releases. You listed 2 small 3rd party titles, obviously they have much than that coming.
