Also something that i never hear.
_Why can't they simply say "3ds is strong and alive and will have many games in the next months, while the Switch will progressively be its successor"
How in hell does that stop 3ds from selling ?
/QUOTE]
Because people are stupid and will instantly drop the 3DS, as opposed to being vague like they are, in which case people will keep buying both. When people here of new system's coming out, they don't think "Better buy this system and enjoy its huge backlog", they think "Well this system is dead, better not bother". Watch, the next mainline FE and Pokemon games will be Switch exclusive
