Well, it's hard to comment because Switch really isn't his work, but Iwata's.
What may be his work is how they will make Switch relevant: games and HW revisions/iterations.

Personally, i still believe that making just a single piece of HW instead of two (HW and HH) might bring less revenue.
Let's see how things go.

That's a good point I haven't read about before. The benefit of the Switch is all development teams working on one, single platform, making dev time and costs more efficient (and different studios can help each other out more). 

But what you say is pretty interesting. By selling Wii U and 3DS, Nintendo was making $450 in hardware and $100 in software revenue. With only one system and one type of game (as in, no more handheld MK and console MK, for example), they potentially make a lot less money, even by selling the same amount of systems and games... dude, you made me think.

Revenue isn't important. Profit is. And as I understand it, even with Nintendo, hardware doesn't have too much of a profit margin. Software is where the money is. 

That said, the Switch can totally take on different form factors with different functions. I believe Iwata even said that was something being considered with Switch.
