Nintendo has numerous million sellers this year, but none are on 3DS.

I don't think they will. They opened up their new mobile line specifically to keep up with the income. That and the theme park.

The 3DS sold 15 millions units during its first 9 months (end of february to end of december)

It sold 17 millions during its first year.

And we're talking about a system that ended up not meeting Nintendo's expectations in the last years.

So I don't see how the Switch who is undertracking the 3DS, can replace it alone. Nintendo never said it will, it always was an idea that fans got.

3DS & Switch will both have shipped roughly ~17 million after 13 months but comparing it like that without providing context is being disingenuous.

 

3DS needed to reduce its price by a third in order to reach that number while Switch will do so at nearly twice the price along with extensive supply constraints.
