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.

on the other hand, they had essentially no extra pheripherals. Most people had 2-4 wiimotes (or opted for a cheap 3rd party one), which made the Wii U pro controller the only extra accessories. they'll definitely make money from joycons/docks/pro controllers.

 

Also, they sold the Wii U at a loss. that isn't a concern anymore. Add in the fact that games won't take as long to make, and a lot of the issues aren't issues anymore. Instead of making 2 mario karts, they can focus on making one only that is higher quality
