Will households only have one NS or will there be multiple NS?

First, don't look for the 3DS to die too soon. The Switch will be too expensive and frankly too bulky to replace it immediately. Nintendo's gonna ride that Pokemania wave as far as it will go, at least until the release of Dragon Quest XI and probably until the Switch can reach a lower price point. They know they can't go directly at the handheld audience with a device at around $300.   Which is one of many reasons they are currently hammering on the home console front.

Second, I would be more interested in multiple docks. So if you have a few TVs, you could hook a dock to each and move the console between them.

So, how far is the 3ds alive?  10 years?  That's sony cycle.  If 10 years, it has another 4 years ahead of it.  Think of that real quick and ask yourself if 3ds is around for another 4 years, if it has that kind of longevity.  The DS was around for 9 years.  Of those 9 years, the 3ds was around for 3 years so basically they paid lip service, but lip service half ass because there was no games at the time.  By 2012, their best game for ds was pokemon black and white 2, and nothing else notable. 2013 ds is discontinued.

Wait, what?  So docks for multiple tvs, but when you move the switch, wouln't it just play the same game that's on the switch itself?  So to say that you're jsut switching the switch.

I would say two years of actual support from Nintendo and interested parties.  The Switch should be able to get cheaper by then.  Main point is, Nintendo won't start really pitching to the handheld audience until the Switch has a chance at success there.

The docks thing is just convenience.  If you have a smaller tv in your bedroom ou could take the game from your large living room TV to your bedroom TV.  Or if you have a game room but want to take your Switch to your living room to play a party game or something.  It's just easier than moving the dock every time.
