RUMOR - Switch will not be the successor to 3DS, replacement coming much later
Q&A at Nintendo IR

Q: Is NS 3DS' successor?
A: NS is home console (WiiU) successor. Home & Handheld still separate. 3DS successor much later https://t.co/NbwGpz6U25
I am keeping this marked rumor because we don't have an official translation of the information. With that said, I'm quite surprised to see that Nintendo plans to release a dedicated portable system that will succeed the 3DS. With Switch being a console/portable hybrid, I figured it would take the place of both hardware lines.
