80+ Million Switches Need to be Sold in 5 Years or it's a Failure

Well no. See you're looking at it from your perspective, not Nintendo's. See, the Switch in this case would not be a portable console, and the new handheld would replace the 3DS. So it would be one home console, and one portable console, both playing different games/cartridges - like how the Gameboy and Super Nintendo took different games/cartridges. This is not a hard concept.

Here you are thinking that Nintendo makes business decisions for reasons that make sense. If you're so confident that they do, please go ahead and direct me to the nearest big box store that has a entire display of NES Classics, complete with stacks of additional controllers for people to buy. I know people that refuse to buy a Switch because of how horribly Nintendo dropped the ball on the NES Classic.

There's underestimating the popularity of a stocking filler and then there's shooting yourself in the face. Not to say Nintendo aren't capable of shooting themselves.

Nintendo's won the portable console wars why would they release another system requiring it's own software to compete with 3ds and Switch?

Why is Nintendo no longer selling Gameboys? Your question is completely nonsensical.
