Nintendo says people have been purchasing 3DS systems in expected numbers, will still coexist with Switch
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Switch | 0 comments
While Switch is undoubtedly Nintendo’s focus right now, 3DS continues to be sold and software is still being made. In fact, the company said last week that 3DS titles will continue to be made in 2019 and beyond.
When asked if 3DS can coexist with Switch during the Q&A portion of Nintendo’s financial results briefing last week, president Tatsumi Kimishima indicated that this is still the case. One reason for that is due to 3DS’ price point and “ample software lineup”, which are attractive points for parents.
