I don't think it will be a simultaneous release - that would generate far too much logistical effort and it wouldn't look good if they cease to support 3DS so soon


Instead I would imagine they launch the home system first, and then the matching portable architecture later when it is even more feasible to produce at an affordable cost.

That would give 3DS a 5.5 year life, whereas DS have 6.25 years. That wouldnt be too early to replace 3DS especially since its selling much worse than DS.
