Successor to the 3DS and Wii u. Couldn't agree more. I said this for years and so many disagreed. I don't think 3ds will get a separate successor because switch is it. It's aiming for all the handheld market sales 3ds and ds aimed for but with the added bonus of aiming for the Wii u market aswell 

Yeah, there is zero sense to release onother hardware of any kind that will not be part of Switch platform. But like I wrote, I think that Nintendo will release Switch Mini/Pocket just for handheld play in order to have much more affordable price point and that will effectively replace 3DS price point on market when 3DS finaly dies. Nintendo already said that their goal with Switch is to be device per person instead device per house but that still isnt possible with current price point of Switch. I mean you can only try to imagine Switch sales in Japan when Switch has price point of around $200 with adition of avilible games like core Pokemon and Animal Crossing with already released games like Splatoon2, MK8D, Zelda BotW, Mario 2D/3D, new MH game...

I imagine it's sales will be like previous Nintendo handheld before and won't break their record. So that makes it quite easy to imagine. Between 20 and 30m imo.
