That's why they won't announce the death of the 3DS yet and surely try to let the 2 consoles coexist for a while. They need a safety net.

If the Switch flops, they kill 2 markets with one stone. It would be really bad for the company. Keeping the 3DS around can allow them to move back to it and make a real successor if the Switch doesn't sell well.

Good point.  Makes sense to keep the 3DS relevant in 2017 so if this flops they'll try their hand with a 4DS or whatever name they come up with.
