I think a 3DS replacement is still coming I think Nintendo may release a smaller portable only Switch.

Theres no way dude.

Unless the switch ends up being too expensive to produce, and it just doesnt make any sense.

It throws away the unified games library idea (unless the 3DS replacement can play the Switch games in portable mode).

It ll add a 3rd layer to all quality controll & testing, for each and every game (developer nightmare! goodbye 3rd party)

The Switch is the portable, a 3ds replacement would also deminish the value of the switch (its a hybrid dude), its like shooting yourself in the foot.

Nintendo isnt going to make a 3ds replacement, its switch or nothing.

We have a 3DS XL and 3DS they seem to be ok? So Nintendo just makes a smaller Switch nothing extra to program for exact same internals with some limited changes to make it cheaper. I would call that a win for those who have no interest in the home console side of things
