That was before Switch launch, while you said "Switch will fail of a cliff" at end of 2017. when was obvious that Switch will be successful console in any case. Switch was doing stronger in its first year (with huge stocks problems while 3DS didnt had them at all) even than 3DS that had huge price cut in order to start selling, but you ignored that offcourse, also comparing it with N64 also don't make sense, Switch after first 9 months was at half of LT N64 numbers. You were completely ignoring fact that Switch last year was sold out most of year, you also ignoring fact that last year Switch didnt had any deal or price cut, you also ignoring fact despite Ninetendo released some of its strong IPs they have more of them like that Switch this year is getting two IPs that are one most strongest Nintendo IPs.

So yeah, your predictions about Nintendo are just yours wishful thinkings. And its not point only about Switch hardware, everything regardless Nintendo, for instance Nintendo Switch games sales also.

3ds having a huge price didn't mean it would start losing momentum early, it could have been the sweet spot, and it could have sold insanely well like the DS at a cheap price. the N64 comparison was in the USA where it was a beast for like a year or 2 not WW. I'm not ignoring switch was sold out most of last year you are simply over estimating the effect it had, thats why you lost the bet that you considered wishful thinking from april to august, anyway you are free to think what you like, you obviously are not convincing me, and i won't be convincing you. 

Point is that 3DS need to have huge price (around 30% of launch price) just 6 months after launch in order to start selling better, compared to Switch that was selling great with huge stock problems and whithout any need for price cut. Point is that you didnt had any reason to assume that Switch will lose momentum or even less fail of a cliff, its was clerly your wishful thinking. Numbers speak for itself, and fact that Switch held momentum this year despite didnt had any big game this year until Pokemon is very impressive. Point that I lost bet don't change nothing, point that Switch sold little less in April-August period in US compared to same time period dont change nothing, Switch will YOY in any case. I dont trying to convice you, you know that I am right, you are only person hole site that said that Switch sales will fail of a cliff after Holiday season and that Switch will YOY down.
