The Switch trailer featured no children, just 20-somethings while 3DS ads typically are aimed at children/parents. That makes me believe Switch will be marketed as a more premium, high-end device and 3DS will remain their low cost kid-friendly device for a couple years until 3DS support dries up and Switch price comes down. |
good point. i look at it like this, if nintendo had been selling a "vita" as their handheld alongside wii u,
then yeah, this would be replacing both. but 3DS was very far from vita, it's quite distinct.
sure, to some degree, some fans might just use Switch instead of 3DS, and 3DS sales might reduce somewhat.
but that doesn't mean they can't exist simultaneously. hell, PS4 was co-sold with PS3, after all.
for all we know, nintendo is separately planning a 3DS2. certainly it should be eligible for an update,
what with 14nm/10nm process which would also allow shrinking battery size for same performance.
