I think you will see two new Switch models next year, with the current Switch model basically phased out. Nintendo will want a new model(s) anyway because usually the 2nd year of a console/handheld is when they really want sales to ramp up. 

You might be right, the DS phat sold 18 mil so it could be similar situation, once Nintendo fulfills their now revised order of 16 mil.  Tech heads keep saying how much cheaper it would be manufacturing 16nm vs 20nm chips so it makes sense all around.

Yup, eventually it's actually going to likely cost Nintendo more to keep making a 20nm Tegra X1 chip, because 14/16nm is going to be the standard for everything. 

This version of the Switch like the OG 3DS and Phat DS models will eventually be gone.
