but... WHY?

the 3DS is now 7 years old. and while it is a great handheld, it has run its course and simply isnt needed anymore. im excited to see Bowser's Inside story getting remade but I would be even more excited if it was on the Switch so i could play it on the go or on the big screen. toting a 3DS around at this point just feels like a chore, and its no secret that they can get pretty banged up after a few years of use. im at the point where i feel like i should be buying a new model but i just dont want to feel like i have to

Why?  Because there are 71 million 3DS out there and only like 16million Switches, it's all about numbers and profits my friend...

71 million 3DS consoles... not 71 million 3DS users. I personally own 2. i have multiple friends that own at least 2, and some people even own 3 or more. not to mention there are likely a few million used 3DS consoles just sitting on store shelves not belonging to anybody. im willing to bet out of those 71 million units sold, you only really have 35 million users at most
