No, Switch is selling obviously better than 3DS in same time period, and like you wrote whitout huge price drop, also Switch lineup until now wasnt strong and it whithout any big game compared to last year in same time period, and despite that Switch is selling similar to last year (so it keeed momentum). If you look at Switch lineup is actually quite impressive that Switch continue to selling very good despite not had any big game until now, but again, thats only one quarter, Nintendo always have strongest sales in second half of year espacily in FY Q3 (Oct-Dec) where they usualy have similar or even better sales than in other 3 quarters combined, and this FY Q3 look espacily strong for Switch with MarioParty+Pokemon+SmashBros. Switch will easily sell more in FY 2018. than it sell in FY 2017.

Your posts fit with your agenda that keep pushing with Switch, yours "falling off the cliff" post don't need explanation at all its very self explained post. :D

What ever dude, i'm not gonna keep arguing with you, think what you want. as for 3ds vs switch sales

 Q4 17.13 3DS

Q4 17.79 switch,

basically selling at the same pace, with switch having a slight advantage.

Talking about yours agenda, when we comparing it with 3DS sales than Switch has similar sales, but when we talk about NPD sales than Switch this year is for now has lower sales than last year!? :D

Also when you talk about 3DS sales, keep on mind that Switch had huge stock problems in its first year while 3DS didnt and that 3DS had huge price cut in order to start selling. Also it will be much more intresting to compare 3DS and Switch sales for full second year on market, 3DS sold 14m in second full year on market while Switch will sell 17m+ this FY in worst case.

Also we can compare just hole first year for Switch and 3DS because Switch was totally sold out at launch while that wasnt case with 3DS, but offocurse that fit less with your agenda:

FY 2017. Switch - 15m

FY 2012. 3DS - 13.5m

And difference for this FY year can be only bigger.
