If the 3ds can't do it. The switch won't

I think there will be more than one Switch model though, 3DS had different revisions, but they are largely cosmetic. 

The future for Nintendo hardware will be a higher end model ($300) and a lower end model ($150-$200) IMO and they will continually just cycle in new hardware to refresh that every once in a while. 

I guess we'll have to see if it turns out that way, but that's what I see happening. In 2020 or so there will be a new higher end Switch and the current one will get a design refresh (probably even before 2020) and occupy the lower end market, with 2DS/3DS finally retired. 

That's the future for Nintendo I think, instead of two distinct hardware lines (home console + portable) that they've had in the past, they will adjust and basically make two tiers of Switch, with games that are compatible with each other but scale up and down. 

If you think outside the box, there are scenarios where sales beyond the 3DS are possible and why not think outside the box because the entire Switch concept is thinking outside the box of Nintendo's normal "rules". Having to have a discreet handheld + seperate home console was always an unwritten "rule" of Nintendo, well they broke that one, I think several others will be broken too. 

Nintendo cannot have Sony jump on the switch bandwagon then, switch is very very young and I'm shocked it's selling st the rate it is....
