Uuumm... Yes? Is that not blatantly obvious? The Switch is both Nintendo's next gen portable and home console. They're merging the two into one product. 3DS will not have a place once Switch is out, or at least I hope so. It would be stupid for Nintendo to put so much emphasis on portability, and then still make exclusives for a portable device that pretty much failed on the market.

No, because Nintendo's already working on a 3DS replacement for sometime around 2018-19.
They made that clear when it was said that they'd be supporting the 3DS with games up until then.
The Switch is meant to take the Wii U's place, not the 3DS, as it is a home console first and foremost and the second screen is just a side option that isn't needed to play anything on it when at home.

Tell me again how the multiplatform strategy was supposed to fix everything. Look at your results and compare them to Nintendo, which keeps thriving with exclusives. Your loyal fans are gone. And let’s not forget the pile of IPs you purchased only to let them rot.

The worst thing is this is down from last years numbers/expectations which was down from the previous years numbers/expectations. You think about how long “down” has been a consistent part of the communication and you realize those subscriptions are what’s holding that boat together. The price cut of gamespass is still a price raise in a string of price raises. They are trying to use players to offset the missing revenue. Now call of duty is out of gamespass, which is literally WHY they bought the company. To draw people to the subscription. They realized they missed a boatload of money and that wasn’t sustainable. Now you pay for it like you would have if they never bought the company… so why buy the company? Mind you those billions still need to be paid back. Yeah it gives you a chance to say we make the biggest FPS… but the internal conversations must be brutal at high level on topics that really matter. Like revenue. Profitability. And ROI for the shopping spree.

Is this like the 10th quarter in a row they're down 33% on hardware how is that even mathematically possible. You would think their mediocrity would Plateau
