>>29949700we are not, by next time this year the 3DS is probably going to be out of production, the Switch was conceived to finally let Nintendo have only one machine and retire from the race against Microsoft and Sony, they're not going back. The entire Switch reveal was a disaster for Nintendo
>they announced Project NX early as fuck because the Wii U was already beyond any possibility of repair and they needed to placate the investors >this made both Wii U and 3DS sales fall even more because everyone and their grandma knew that after they merged the hardware division it was obvious Nintendo was going for some sort of hybrid (which is also, incidentally the road they set many moons before when they revealed the Wii U)>they finally announce the Switch but fail to have it on the shelves by this christmas >to savage their christmas season 2016 they announce the NES mini, a couple of new 3DS title along with a price drop and finally give up on the Wii U >insist on the third pillar bullshit they sprout with the DS and say that the Switch is not the 3DS nor the Wii U successor >meanwhile they announce the switch as an handheld in japan and as a console in the west This is classic Nintendo. In their future there's only Switch, and the Switch is probably going to be without competition because Sony is not going to release a PSP3, they just need to damage control this christmas season and convince people to buy the rest of the 3DS inventory. Thinking that the next pokemon mainlines won't be ok Switch it's just delusional at this point, the main selling point of the Switch is that they're finally going to have all their heavy hitters in one place (mainline Mario, Zelda and Pokemon). If nintendo had their saying they would probably have a SM port on the Switch ready for launch since the pokemon IP is hot as fuck and has always sold hardware, but Game Freak is run by a bunch of drunken monkeys so we will have to wait the next generation.
