its going to beat 3ds but beating xbox is not a sure thing, especially with how nintendo consoles usually lose momentum much faster. 

Nintendo consoles lose momentum faster than Xbox based on what exactly?

What does a normal cycle for Xbox look like?

 

Here are the Nintendo consoles since 2001

Based on that when does a normal Xbox console lose momentum and when does a normal Nintendo console lose momentum?

If Switch was just a home console than you could make a good guess but its also a handheld which are not nearly as consistent.

 

Saying Nintendo consoles normally lose momentum faster than Xbox consoles is based on absolutely nothing.

please show me a console that started off amazing like wii, n64, and 3ds, and ended with such a low ltd, in regards to there early performance in the US.
