Nintendo is letting 3DS cannibalize Switch

If the Switch hits Wii U number, then they are going to release a new handheld.

The Switch success is a big doubt at this point due to his high price.

Even in that scenario, IMO they'd simply just repackage the Switch chip for the next portable. Same thing they did with GameCube to Wii. 

Switch is not going to be expensive forever, those components will come down in price. Tegra X1 + 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM will be cheaper than dirt in 2 years. 

They won't give you a "new" system. You'll just get the same one rebranded in a smaller form factor (due to a die shrink). 

Wii was a new console.

Wii U never dropped in price, I just hope that the Switch will and quickly, else it's going to be battered on the market I am afraid. Until it's 200 and has a "mini version", it makes no sens to drop the 3DS.

If it fails, they will drop the Switch brand.
