Nintendo is committing a lot of the same lethal mistakes they did with the WiiU, and more.

Look at the second chart.  You'll see the shape of the curves is quite similar.

That comparison is NS' first holiday to 3DS twilight year performance it doesn't actually show NS selling as a handheld, you'll know when it starts selling as a handheld because the performance in Japan will jump up significantly right now the NS has just carved out a section of both the home and portable markets, the full portable market will begin migrating over when the price point begins matching that of handhelds.

I have a feeling a price cut won't happen this year but next as the second Pokemon game arrives.

Read the last paragraph of the article.

"The 3DS launched in February 2011 (however, 3DS sales have been aligned to March 2011, since it only launched at the end of February in Japan), while the Nintendo Switch launched worldwide in March 2017. The Switch has sold 8.86 million units, while the 3DS sold 7.72 million units during the same timeframe."

It is launches aligned.  The two sales curves are very similar.
