The Switch could be make-or-break for Nintendo.

I think that if the Switch flounders, we'll get a 3DS successor. We might even get one, anyway. I'm not sold on the Swii doing well against mobile devices. As a portable, it's going to be expensive and inconvenient, both of which are negatives in that space.

Man, I already consider the NS the 3DS's successor.  It's basically a Nvidia Shield with video-out capabilities regardless of how much Nintendo insists that it's primarily a home console.

The thing is, as a handheld, it's basically the anti-DS.  The DS line was inexpensive (except that time when it wasn't and Nintendo had to slash the price), it was convenient, and it was rugged.  It was kind of cute and a great device for small children.

The Switch doesn't really fill that space very well.
