I think you underestimate the DS fans. If Nintendo doesnt make a new secondary handheld during the generation of the switch and keeps the devs who work on the DS working, they can have console/ handheld quality games. This will definitely push Nintendo beyond Microsofts potential. 

But do you really think that they can keep the price of Switch as competitive as the 3DS? As I stated there is still the huge issue of Switch being costed for its hybrid abilities. That said the home console aspect of it also may lose steam somewhat quicker. In any case then Nintendo will need to relaese a home console like devise sooner than later for keeping up with the competition on the specs department. I see real issues here and a potential cliff edge.

The Switch will only lose steam if a big company like Sony tries to pull the same thing 2-4 years down the road when technology progresses in this area, and even then the Switch is built the best it possibly could and has enough heavy hitters to likely make it a 3DS vs. Vita situation. The Switch offers something not huge in the market currently, which is a powerful gaming dedicated hybrid. I thought at first portablility would be its sort of gimmick, but after owning it for a while, it's a great feature I can't get anywhere else. The Switch has an ability that can appeal to hardcore and casuals alike, and as word continues to spread, I think it has the capability to surpass Wii sales.
