Is Nintendo ending the 3DS slowly?

Well yea, it's almost time for it to be replaced.

I disagree, the 3DS has still a bright future ahead. It may not sell as well as the DS, but it can have a longer lifespam than the DS. At least let Nintendo release the 2D Metroid and another 2D Zelda.

I think that it'll be replaced next year or at the end of 2016 with a new home console.

I don't think so. Not only the DS games are still selling well, but the only direct copetitor, the Vita, is not doing great and it wil probably not get a succesor. In the handhelds departent, 3DS runs unopposed (mobile and tablet hurt sales but don't compete directly). The only thing that Nintendo needs is to keep the games coming. I don't see the HDS (an HD-DS, it will be called that) before 2/2 2017 or 1/2 2018.
