Would you prefer 3DS to get its own successor instead of switch being its successor? advantages and disvantages? Do you like XDS fan concept?

Wow, before going to bed, NO was slaying the YES... 70% vs 30%! Now they're so close!

People are fragmented...
And here lies the risk! Those who want a separate 3ds successor, for better portability and lower price, will they settle for switch if eventually Nintendo doesn't make a separate successor for 3ds ?
Will switch make Nintendo to lose many of its big core handheld console audience, the only big and somewhat loyal for them in the hardware business, probably throwing them to mobile gaming?

I hope NS to be affordable! Perhaps it will be cheap, since the dock is just a tv output and a charging cradle ( also there is no  optical disk drive ) , many suggesting that it won't be below 299$ though, I guess because the handheld device is so powerful!
3DS had trouble at 249$ and had to be cut to get at 169$...

Nintendo also cited that they won't sell the handheld device standalone...
