Nintendo console usually fall out of a cliff by this time of their lives. The fact the 3DS is doing so well shows that Nintendo is learning how to get a console to have a longer tail. They will definitely apply what they learned from the 3DS to the Switch later on.
I think the 3DS is a good low tier platform to get into for those who can't afford a Switch. A 2DS is like $80 with a game and the 3DS is like $170 now. Switch will probably into those sales as the price gets lower.
