Design the successor to the 3DS

Not sure why the thread didn't just end with this post.  It's the most accurate and obvious answer to the proposition by the OP.

The OP assumes there doesn't need to be a successor.  Personally, I don't play a 3DS or want one.  I owned a DS and barely played it.  I've just never been that much of a portable player.  I was just curious what the 3DS owners thought.  Are they happy with the Switch being the successor (they seem to be!) or are there things they would want Nintendo to implement that aren't in the Switch or the current 3DS.  I've loved the mockups of future iterations of the Switch in here.  I think it also makes sense going forward for them to just make more portable revisions of the Switch, especially for their software output.  It would seem as the Switch is the end of a disk-based experiment for Nintendo, so to is it the end of their dedication to a two screen platform.

Just because the current model of Switch is a hybrid, doesn't mean they all have to be.

XX = dedicated handheld, XY = Switch undocked, YX = Switch docked, YY = dedicated home console Switch. It's no different than smartphones(XX), tablets(XY), laptops(YX), desktops(YY).

A dedicated home console Switch(YY), assuming it's more powerful, could get hybridised next gen for the Switch 2 to keep the cycle going.
