I expect that if Switch is successful, they will do their regular five year cycle and allow for full BC. This makes sense if they are keeping the same architecture.

Or they will do mid gen upgrades like Sony and MS are starting. I think it is a foul practice but if they have proper 3rd party support from the west, they might have to. If not then it is whatever they want to do. If they truly merge both console and handheld divisions, they can be successful doing their own thing. Not as successful, but profitable non the less.

Five year cycle is dead and cant survive in modern time, we will have mid gen upgrades that will play same games, something similar like PS4 and PS4 Pro.

We don't even know if mid gen upgrades will work, and you say 5 year can't survive?  PS4Pro is already a waste of money with some games running worse on it than the original model.  Other people like myself realize that it is a complete waste of money to buy a console at full price that plays the same games as the one I have.  If you already have a 4K TV it is still hard to justify, and those that don't would just be foolish to invest in a mid gen upgrade.

 

That said, you have no clue what can live or die in the modern age of gaming tech.  Only time will tell.
