Nintendo 3DS is set apart from Nintendo Switch by its characteristics as a handheld game system that is lightweight, price-friendly, and highly portable. Affordability is the strong point that positions Nintendo 3DS in a niche clearly separate from Nintendo Switch. In the grand scheme of things, Nintendo 3DS has a prominent position as the product that can be served as the first contact between Nintendo and many of its consumers, and for this reason we will keep the business going.

And you can take it with you

But I don't think they will kill off the DS, not a company that makes the same system a lot (3DS, 2DS, DSi, DSxyz and I may have made some of those up)

I think the bigger threat to the DS line is the prominence of cell phone gaming. Handhelds are waning a lot, and Nintendo is testing the water with phone games of their own.
