I think... creating a successor to the 3DS that's separate from the Switch would be a huge step backwards. Combining their handheld and home console markets was a brilliant move, so about the only thing I could see making sense would be them making a cheaper, more portable version of the Switch without the dock. That way people could get a device that would be easier to carry around and more affordable to replace should it get lost, stolen, or damaged. And it could still be able to play the same games as their home device (assuming that they have a regular Switch too), which would still have its uses for the larger screen... and maybe the controllers for multiplayer play, if the theoretical smaller Switch lacks them. There's certainly ways to make a second device that's capable of playing Switch games without rendering either device obsolete. It all comes down to features and design.
