Bullshit OP. Switch is the only handheld with reasonable power + normal architecture.

Problem here is the battery life.  2-5 hours which probably means 3 hours of typical usage is not enough to make it through the day.

Play it for three hours in the morning, put it on charge and do something else, then play another 3 hours in the evening, problem solved. :P

it shouldn't fail cause 3DS fans will easily fall in love with the switch 

It should be remembered that 3DS couldn't sell well at $250. Switch is $300.

It's perfectly possible. The thing is, despite what people think, Nintendo can't support an HD console by themselves. They need third party support.

So, the switch will obviously experience draughts, just like every Nintendo system after the Snes. Even the sucessful Wii lost much of its support on its last years cause third parties jumped ship.
The underpowered home console gig just doesn't fly with developers and publishers. The Nintendo console for Nintendo games only works for fans. So, it's perfectly possible. Especially if you add the unsatisfied Wii U owners.

It's first year is already looking a bit sparse; as far as major new games, the only ones it seems to have so far are Zelda, ARMS, Splatoon 2, Fire Emblem Warriors, Mario Odyssey, and the extremely-likely-to-be-pushed-back-to-2018 Xenoblade 2. That's 6 big games for 2017, which is around par with Wii U's better years.
