The company opted to release a long video rather than host a live event, focusing on the games it knows will be a big hit, with the Switch version of Super Smash Bros. taking centre stage.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/topics\/2284\/nintendo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nintendo<\/a> Understandably, his presentation focused on upcoming games for his latest hit console, the Nintendo Switch. The complete absence of the highly successful handheld console, the 3DS, surprised many and left fans fearing the company might be turning its back on the popular system. However, Nintendo of America president, Reggie Fils-Aime, explained this week to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2018-06-14\/nintendo-s-fils-aime-hits-back-at-analysts-as-stock-declines\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bloomberg<\/a>, that there are no such plans and that the company sees the 2DS and 3DS as affordable options for children, families, and people looking to get into video games \u2013 a sort of gateway drug for aspiring gamers, so to speak.<\/p>\n<p>As the following graphic shows, it would not be a smart move for Nintendo to leave the 3DS family behind anyway. With more than 70 million units sold so far, the portable gaming system has a huge installed base that would be foolish for Nintendo to neglect. In the past two fiscal years, players have purchased more than 30 million software titles for the 3DS\/2DS family, more than for the Switch and the (now discontinued) Wii U combined.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Infographic: Why Nintendo Shouldn&#039;t Abandon the 3DS | Statista\" href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/chart\/14286\/lifetime-sales-of-nintendo-consoles\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%; height: auto !important; max-width: 960px; -ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic;\" title=\"Nintendo\" src=\"https:\/\/infographic.statista.com\/normal\/chartoftheday_14286_lifetime_sales_of_nintendo_consoles_n.jpg\" alt=\"Infographic: Why Nintendo Shouldn&#039;t Abandon the 3DS | Statista\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Further infographics can be found at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/chartoftheday\/\">Statista<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nintendo's presentation at E3 earlier this week was fairly well received by the company's fans, although some analysts criticised a lack of surprise in its announcements.
