it's still cheaper to publish for the 3ds, and there's a huge install base. So just like with every other popular console, it'll get a few games here and there after the new console is out (see nes, snes, 360, ps3, etc etc). But yes, the switch will replace it. The market will ultimately decide for how long, but not for overly long. Consider it a legacy device that'll get some releases every so often in 2017.
Brand confusion would be the real problem with a 3ds successor. switch mini? super ultra new 3ds? I don't know, seems like a minefield. If the switch flops maaaaybe. but as soon as pokemon hits the switch, we'll know it'll have completely replaced the 3ds.
