The Switch is about to make the 3DS more dear to the Japanese and western fans. Nintendo purists will buy the switch. Its going to be like the Wii U it will sell near to it whether above, similar or below. I dont think it will sell far away from the Wii U though. It has the same market appeal.

So when the 3DS stops getting support, where will those people go?

I doubt Nintendo will drop the 3DS because of this platform. Handhelds have always been Nintendos primary platform, unless they made a successor. Being that you're dealing with a hybrid HD handheld. . As a stand alone console, it pales to the competition when it comes to third party but not with first party. Problem is in the market when you only have exclusives you have less games and droughts become extremely visible. I mean take Microsoft for instance. They are in the dust behind Sony and Nintendo with exclusives, but third party holds them up completely.
