This is not to claim that switch isn't perceived as 3DS successor too because of 3DS sales being unaffected by the switch launch...

It could just be that switch doesn't have 3DS bc ( as previous handheld consoles had with their successor ) , is expensive as a handheld console ( at least in comparison with 3DS, especially with 2DS which might be the reason for 3DS being yoy up ) , no handheld console ips yet ( MH, YW, PMN, AC), and it's hardware nature ( not as much portable as a handheld console lover would like, plus being a hardware that have some similarities with wii u, a handheld part with a wide screen and a stationary part), even though all these could make some to thing that's not also 3DS successor hah.

That's why I said 'yet' and 'it seems'. It is possible that later with more games and maybe a lower price more people transition from 3DS to Switch.
