To suggest Wii U production was stopped because they feared Switch would affect it's sales is Ludicrous. Wii U production was not efficient and costly to Nintendo. There were reports of wii U's being produced and sitting around until they were sold years later. Why would Nintendo want to continue production? They would have been more then happy to stop when they did. Production more Wii U's would have been very financially unattractive to them.

On the other hand 3DS can actually sell respectable numbers and production is much more efficient. It makes sense to keep producing them while demand is high.
