I think that's exactly what will happen. Why should Switch adhere to the archaic old setup ... it's mobile technology, not only that it's standardized mobile chips ... Nvidia could give them something incredible in 3-4 years.

Well that's what I think will happen, I expect a more powerful Switch to be released within 4-5 years, and if people don't view that as a successor then 100m is not a bold prediction.

Try 3-4 years IMO, and it won't be a successor or anything. Just a new member of the family. 

Nintendo's new setup will be a higher cost portable model and a lower cost model. Right now that is occupied by the Switch and 3DS. 

In a few years, 3DS will be gone, Switch will move down to occupy that part of the market (cheaper) and a new Switch Pro type model will occupy the $300 price point again (higher profit margin for Nintendo). 

That will be the new Nintendo cycle IMO, and games will be broadly compatible with all Switch devices in most cases. It will become an ecosystem, not just one singular system. Just as iPhone is and iPad is.
