If I was Nintendo I would just keep manufacturing the systems for another 5-6 years. Who says you have to stop manufacturing a system at a certain cut off year? Personally I'd have no problem if they kept making 3DS systems too.

The concern in the past always was that "well you have to retire the system because the store can't possibly store/stock shelf space for games of a old system", but that isn't the case anymore with digital libraries. 

If you can walk into any Footlocker in the world basically and buy a pair of Air Jordan 1s (a shoe that first released in 1984 ... over 40 years ago now) like right now, like what's the big deal with a game console that's 10 years old.
