Probably no longer than 2018. The Switch seems to be intended as a hybrid designed to combine the handheld and console lineup to reduce droughts. The 3DS' existence hampers that strategy. They're keeping the 3DS around because the Switch is a risk for them, but I highly doubt they want it to have a long term future.
I think Nintendo will want to maintain a presence in the £70-150 price range of hardware, and I wouldn't expect it to be a Switch mini for a while yet. They want the 2DS to do that job for the next couple of years at least, then we'll see what comes after it.
I don't see why they wouldn't produce another DS, still compatible with all current DS and 3DS games, but with a higher res screen and beefier CPU and RAM, so that they can raise the bar of DS games again.
You guys had me at blood and semen.
What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?
