Topic	So is Nintendo killing off the 3DS because of Switch?
l Dudeboy l 07/11/18 12:04:29 PM #24:	dameon_reaper posted... l Dudeboy l posted... markconigliaro posted... l Dudeboy l posted... Why do people think Nintendo should ditch the 3DS other than 'its old'? So they can put all their development resources into the Switch. The Switch had sold about 10% the amount of units as the 3DS. Why would a developer/publisher prioritise a significantly smaller platform? I don't understand your logic. The Switch is a hot product right now. its younger than 3DS and one of the biggest reasons its not sold as much. If they both came out around the same time and the Switch was selling that much less, then I would agree. That's like saying "Why should we release a new handheld when it hasn't sold as much as the 3DS has?" -_- It's a hot product with a much smaller userbase than the other product. Developers and publishers exist to make money, and that is much easier to do to an audience of 150 million people. Obviously I'm not saying develop only for 3DS and ignore the Switch, but the scales have not tipped enough yet for it to be a good business decision to ditch a large profit-securing console. --- You are now breathing manually. Lets put a little lead in the air, and see what falls over. <cite>l Dudeboy l posted [p:904883990] in So is Nint...
