Every sale not from a Nintendo fan will have to be clawed from the fingers of Playstation/Xbox/mobile, and that's an uphill battle. Not to say they won't win some over, but it's far from a given. As for the unified library, Nintendo announcing they'll continue supporting 3DS kinda kills that idea.

They only need some of from that userbase though not all it's far from a given much like your argument about the current owners not migrating is far from a given either, 3DS is just doing what GBA did during the DS launch year and acting as a buffer after next year the won't be any more 3DS games, remember Wii U was to be continued to be supported guess how that's gone.

Nintendo's trend for the past 6 years has been one of users migrating away; whether that will change with Switch remains to be seen, and hopefully it does, but there is a downward trend that Switch will have to reverse before it can start gaining ground. For Nintendo's sake, I hope 3DS is killed off soon. If they stubbornly keep it on life support, one of Switch's biggest potential advantages, a unified library, will go down the drain.
