Nu hvor vi stort set ved alt om den kommende Nintendo-konsol, Switch, der jo også kan bruges som en håndholdt, har flere fans udtrykt en bekymring om hvordan understøttelsen af 3DS vil blive i fremtiden.
Heldigvis har Nintendo-chefen, Reggie Fils-Aime, kunne bekræfte via et interview med Wired, at 3DS stadig har et langt liv foran sig, og at de vil fortsætte med at understøtte konsollen i en rum tid endnu:
"3DS has a long life in front of it. We've already announced games that will be launching in the first couple quarters of this year. There are a number of big games coming. And in our view, the Nintendo 3DS and the Nintendo Switch are going to live side-by-side."
Derudover er Fils-Aime sikker på at de to konsoller kan eksistere side om side:
"You're going to be meeting different price points, you're going to be meeting different types of consumers, you're going to have the newest, freshest content available on Nintendo Switch, you've got a thousand-game library available on Nintendo 3DS, plus key new ones coming. They're going to coexist just fine. We've done this before, managing two different systems."
