Pyro as Bill said:
The only way anyone could give this a greater than 1% chance of happening is if you think Nintendo fans are dumb enough to buy the same games again for an inferior but slightly more portable system.

It's obviously ludicrous unless your the type of person who buys BoTW for Switch and then goes and buys an extra inferior version of BoTW for the inferior WiiU over the space of a few days.

... you own a copy of Breath of the Wild on both Wii U and Switch, don't you Bill? If you haven't, Nintendo needs your support, Bill! Don't let them down!

Also have you considered that perhaps Nintendo could be making this 3DS replacement to target people dont own a Switch and aren't interested in buying one? I know that might be a hard concept for you to grasp, but believe it or not, not everyone who enjoys portable gaming wants to buy a Switch as it stands. Some people prefer a smaller form factor, some people prefer a longer battery life. Some people prefer a handheld that doesn't have any removable parts. In fact there may be tens of millions of 3DS owners who would rather not buy a Switch if there was a more appealing alternative. You have people on this very forum that have said that they have no interest in the Switch because it isn't as portable as they would like, why are you ignoring that?

Of course this concept is completely ridiculous if there was both a Switch mini and a 3DS replacement competing against each other, but it's plausible that this Switch is as portable as the Switch ever gets. If that is the case, there's a lot more room for a 3DS replacement than you're willing to admit.
