One thing for sure, first Switch revision is already overdue.

DS/DS lite - 67 weeks
3DS/3DS XL - 74 weeks
GBA/GBA SP - 99 weeks
Average - 80 weeks
Switch/(today) - 98 weeks

It looks even better when you stack all Nintendo hardware by release dates, starting from GB pocket (1996). On average we've seen new system/revision every 62 weeks. Currently the last hardware released from Nintendo was New 2DS XL and it's been 79 weeks since the release.

3ds tanked out the gate and needed it. DS started slowing like crazy and needed it. I can't remember about GBA, but Switch clearly is doing great so they probably don't have the same pressure.
