Yep, Nintendo isn't dropping the 3DS. As mentioned above, plenty of games are still being released for it, at least for the next few years, it seems. May be the only thing to keep them afloat while the Switch builds up it's library haha.
Though it does bring up the question of whether or not Sony is going to try putting another handheld out there, eventually. Although I like my 3DS for some things, I preferred the price and variety of games that the PSP/Vita offered.
Guess I may have to eventually upgrade to a *new* 3DS though, assuming more games will demand the hardware to perform better over the next couple of years.
