Okay, why are people so up in arms? VGC users flame the 3DS when there's no need to and start defending it when someone asks a question? He's just asking whether they could, not whether they should.
On topic, I'm not entirely sure. I mean, of course, in theory they can do anything, but, even supposing that 3DS weakens soon, I'd think it would tarnish their reputation too much after Wii/DS. If it starts dying off, Nintendo can just take an emergency route by cutting price and putting it up as the next in the DS line. Also, third parties would flee to Alpha Centauri if Nintendo destroyed the 3DS now, after the huge support they're offering it, which is something Nintendo simply cannot afford.
I feel far too reasonable for a fanboy.
