Thats not how things work. Just a few points for you to think about (there are many more, but perhaps they will come to you when you think about it):
- Switch price is much higher than the price of WiiU or 3DS
- Switch has higher game prices
- Switch has not even had a single price cut
- Switch is already selling almost as much as WiiU and 3DS combined
Going by sale statistics Switch will most likely outsell combined numbers of WiiU and 3DS by a large margin before the Switch successor arrives (and Switch already made Nintendo more money than both predecessors combined).
Yeah I guess so. If ur comparing the switch directly to those consoles that mostly makes sense. (Wiiu did start at 300&350 tho. 3ds at 250 w an almost immediate price cut) Personally I was thinking about 10do systems in general. Cube for example I wanna say sold around 40mill? Not wii successful but not wiiu either. Gboy advance im not sure. Surely more. 70-80mill? So switch would have would have a ways to go yeah? Def seems plausible. Would that still be wildly successfull or does it become a bit more expected? Again its just a thought. Feel free to share some further insight or points of view.

The same could be said for Sony with the PS3+PSP. Or Microsoft when compared to the Xbox 360. You're just forgetting that the console industry has contracted pretty majorly in recent years. The combined sales of all the consoles and handhelds back then were somewhere north of 500mil. No company is going to see the sales numbers from those peak years ever again. Gaming has expanded too far beyond just conosles, with phone and PC gaming eating away at marketshare. If you look at recent numbers, however, the Switch is doing extremely well. If it outsells the Wii U and 3DS combinded, I would argue that it's managed pretty amazing turnaround from the bleak outlook of slow decay that Nintendo was facing just last gen.
