3DS is still selling good and has huge instal base, regardless Switch, its very important that 3DS has low price point compared to Switch.
But it will be intresting to see sales of 3DS next year, I dont buy this "2018 and beyond support", I dont see any 3DS Nintendo support after 2018. even now suport is done buy external teams outside Nintendo in most cases.

I guess it means there's still some shovelware and a couple minor updates in the way.
