Cool....lets see how switch is in 5 years.
Hopefully i wont end like 3ds or wii

Since Nintendo only has one platform anymore, they can keep developing for the Switch for a long time. Its legs should be at least decent.

Klaud was just trolling. Obviously he knows that if the Switch plays out like the Wii, it will be a tremendous success.

I don't think the fact that there is just one system makes a difference, but maybe the fact that it's also a handheld, and Nintendo's handhelds seem to have longer lifespans than their consoles.

The Switch being an underpowered "console" (but an overpowered "handheld") means that folks who use it as a console will probably see it as outdated tech in five years, when 4K will be the norm, and 8K is gaining traction.
