That's called 3DS erasure. Nintendo never made unpopular portable systems. A hybrid is more appealing than a handheld + a Nintendo home console combined. Switch was the successor to both 3DS and Wii U, which combined sold about 90 million.
And the 3DS generation was an outlier in how bad it was for Nintendo (in the gen before it, Nintendo sold 255~ million consoles). As opposed to Xbox360 being the outlier for Microsoft. A gen where Nintendo fucks up is more successful than a gen where MS does everything right (AND their direct competitor fucks up). There's just no comparison between Xbox and Nintendo.
Xbox is not winning anything without true exclusivity and a sprinkle of miracles.
