Soundwave said: For as long as they want. They're selling the NES and SNES still. They don't even need to release new games for it, turn it into a digital platform and make all the GBA/DS/3DS games available on the eShop. Just keep selling the system. |
That's a nice short-term plan. But eventually, more kids are going to want a Switch over it, especially once Pokemon comes into the picture. Nintendo can sell the 3DS for quite a while, but eventually sales will decline even further and they'll need to retire it.
