The Switch will sell more than the Wii.
 

It's possible I think if they have more hardware versions and different classes of hardware, thus basically incentivizing people to buy multiple Switch systems over the same 6 year period that would define a normal "generation". They can bend the rules there, much like tablet makers and phone makers do, as almost no one keeps one phone for like 6 straight years. 

I think you'll see the current Switch die-shrunk to a more efficient 16nm chip, and eventually that model will be smaller + cheaper and Nintendo will target that to a younger audience, but by mid-cycle IMO they'll have a higher powered Switch to replace the top end of the market (2DS/3DS likely completely gone at that point). 

They can do this much more easily now too because Nvidia because continues to iterate up on the Tegra chipset, so Nintendo doesn't have to pay a ton for R&D or shoulder the R&D burden themselves.
