A 3DS successor won't do any good. The 3DS was moderately successful but its userbase has heavily decreased in comparison to the original DS. The trend is that successors to Nintendo systems are never as popular as their predecessors.
NES > SNES
GB > GBA
Wii > Wii U
DS > 3DS
That's why Nintendo has never done the trifecta. Unless a 3DS successor becomes an advertising hit, the sales will halve compared to the original 3DS. Mobile has killed off the userbase of the DS line, and it will perpetuate.
