Switch keep selling better than 3DS in same time period and that's without any price cut still while 3DS needed to have huge price cut only 6 months after launch in order to start selling. So LT Switch will not have any problem reaching at least 80m, 3DS probably will not hit 80m. I mean at end of second full year for Switch, it will already be somewhere around half of 3DS numbers.

We’ll see. Official Switch shipment numbers are outpacing the 3DS shipment numbers by 3.5% but the 3DS had its life prolonged thanks to Pokemon Go.

And what the end of the Switch’s second full year is basically half its life.

Until now, but that difference is getting bigger, Switch is getting momentum, for instance it had best July month in US in last 8 years in gaming. Switch will not have typical life of Nintendo home console, it will have life span similar to handheld and 3DS because of its hybrid nature and future revisions, Nintendo said they want Switch to have longer life span than typical 6 years.
