Even after Nintendo Switch sales began, sales of the Nintendo 3DS family remain stable, as you can see here.

Super Mario Odyssey helped boost Switch sales in the UK. Sales for the system were up 64% week-on-week, catapulting its overall total beyond 300,000 units in the country. With sales from Nintendo’s official store in the UK not included, sales should be even higher.
