Did you miss the point I was makeing?
Im claiming nintendo consoles always have a great first half of their life cycle.

Your trying to prove the Switch will have a better 2nd half, by useing the 1st half of the PS4 vs the Switch?

But ignoreing the fact that I'm talking about the 2nd half.

Where is the logic in that?

Where is the logic believing the Switch will suddenly stop selling like hotcakes despite all the trends showing otherwise ?

And no need to compare it to the Wii cause it has nothing to do with the Wii. Nor the N64, the GC, the SNES, the Wii U nor the NES. In fact it's pretty unique in its genre, and no real pattern can be applied, unlike Sony consoles which usually follows the same path.

Well my logic would be past nintendo consoles have done so.
But if your saying "thats not logical" because its hybrid...   I just dont think it goes that high.

The Nintendo DS is the only console nintendo has had thats gone that high.
It started out at 149$, and dropped down to like 99$ at one point right?

The switch is more epensive, I'm not convinced it can do a DS in terms of sales.

Part of the reason, DS and to some degree 3DS did so well.... was the lower prices, and people collecting multiple DS/3DS models.
So out of the 150m/75m sales, a good degree of those, are people owning 2-5 models. Plus parents buying each of their kids their own unit.

Also:
Switch is more a "shared" console, because you can hook it up to a tv, and kids can both play, hell they can even share the joy-cons (1 for each).
Stuff like that probably does have a minimal impact on sales (less reason to buy multiple units in a household).

Maybe if theres a newer improved switch model, that goes for cheaper, that makes current switch owners want to get a newer model?
