No, because in the past it was a choice between home console power and the ability to play outside the house. With the arrival of the Switch, there is no need to choose as we get both. Hence, in a world where the Switch is available, any game released on 3DS is gimped because it could've been far superior on Switch.

And first party software is selling better on Switch than on 3DS. 

Would you be willing to say that about games like WarioWare Gold?

And here's an example of the opposite of what you are saying, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse. 

Not everything will apply to home console or handheld. There just happens to be certain games from their respective systems that just work because they are on that respective system. Part of what made the DS successful is because it had games that really utilized the second (touch) screen such as Professor Layton, Ace Attorney, JRPGs, Nintendogs, etc.

The dual screen thing may have been a selling point a decade ago, but these days almost every gamer would rather a game be on the single-screen Switch.

Kirby and the Rainbow Curse and WarioWare are frankly poor games anyway.
