According to what logic because as it goes Switch is looking like it'll beat out 3DS in Japan when it's all said and done,  3DS at this point in its life already had a price cut for a start.

Switch has sold ~3.9 million in Japan so far, in the same time frame 3DS had sold ~5.2 million.

Obviously that doesnt mean Switch cant outsell 3DS but i dont think your statement that it looks like Switch will beat 3DS is accurate either.

3DS had a price cut in that period Switch didn't, Switch is a unified userbase 3DS wasn't, Switch has no other competitors in the dedicated portable market while 3DS had Vita whose userbase would have to buy a Switch in order to continue portable gaming. I'd say things point to Switch in the long run beating out 3DS over there.
