The Switch is not another Wii U!

I think the problem when people say the Switch will do worse than the Wii U is, they fail to take in account the 60+ million 3DS users which are all Nintendo fans. What happened with the 3DS and Wii U is that they chose the 3DS over the Wii U and with the Switch being a hybrid and Nintendo's only platform they no longer have this choice to choose from.

Yeah, even in the worst case scenario, I can't imagine Switch would do worse than WiiU, because of the 3DS.

That said, it's unclear how hard Nintendo are going to go after that crowd. There were hardly any games presented that made you feel like Switch is the new home of 3DS games. No Phoenix Wright, Monster Hunter, or those games that make you think of 3DS.
At the same time Nintendo claim that 3DS still has a long life ahead of it, and announced new games for it.

This message could quickly change with some new game announcements, so we'll see.

What Nintendo should do is release home console games only on switch while handheld games on both switch and 3ds. Continue 3ds support till 2020 so that it can sell more than PSP and I think it has that potential. In 2020 stop supporting 3ds and release an SCU for switch to bring it to modern standards and release switch 2 or whatever in 2023. This is all assuming the switch sells smoothly and at least at Xbox one levels. If not then they should release a successor to 3ds
