2DS was a failure overall IMO. Did not do much of anything for 3DS sales.

They can make a Switch Mini too, but I predict it won't sell very well.

People don't get it ... Switch is appealing to those who want a high end experience and real console games on the go. That's the appeal of the hardware. For that you need a large screen and the form factor of the current Switch is desirable.

Bringing the system down into what the 3DS is is not going to make it more appealing.

A larger screen Switch will sell better than a "mini Switch". 

Actually, I believe the appeal of the hardware is mainly due to the fact you can play all Nintendo games on a single platform and without great compromises such as very limited hardware power and resolution, or unnecessary and complicated controllers.

A would argue people aren't really that much interested to play home console games on the go, or more precisely, most people may be interested on paper but are not willing to buy a console just for it. In fact, we already had a console to provide high-end console experiences on the go and it quite delivered on it's promise.

That's not to say getting some quality 3rd party support isn't important. Nintendo should focus to get key 3rd party titles that can offer something meaningfull on the system. Random PS4/XB1 ports are not likely to happen and wouldn't do much to the system anyway.
