You’ve mentioned the 3DS there. Will you continue to support the dedicated handheld given Switch could potentially replace it?

Certainly I think 3DS from a price perspective is quite a bit lower, and it’s a system we’ve released a very large library for. So I think from that perspective it’s a very good system for kids to have as their first system. We still see a lot of potential for 3DS in that area. And with that in mind we’re thinking of games to release for 3DS not just in 2017, but in 2018 as well. And the hope there also is that kids playing on 3DS will also shift over to Switch at some point in the future.

But how? The Switch isn't a replacement for the 3DS.

This should be a given and Nintendo ought to be looking to expand beyond those who bought a 3DS with the Switch.

Aaaaaaannnddddddd. there we go.

Until it is... just like they say, in the future

They shouldn't keep supporting the 3DS TOO much though.

There is only one thing Nintendo needs to do shift 3DS users over to the Switch, and that's Pokémon.

Yes, Pokemon is the only way.

when Pokemon touch the Nintendo switch will be a success, 15 millions "minimum"
