Well they did say they want to last longer than the typical 5-6 year cycle.
Im thinking its possible Nintendo is going to stray away from traditional generations and make Switch an ongoing upgraded device similar to smartphones/tablets but instead of every 1-2 years, its every 3-4 years.
Switch 1-Spring 2017
Switch 2-Fall 2020, all SW2 games compatible with SW1
Switch 3-Fall 2024, all SW3 games compatible with SW2, low/medium end games compatible with SW1 but not high end games
Switch 4-Fall 2028, all, SW4 games compatible with SW3, low/medium end compatible with SW2, SW1 support ended.
Something like that i think is possible.

This would actually be a good idea I think; traditionalists would cry foul, but it would solve the issue of them having to start again from scratch in terms of library and hardware familiarity every time they release their next system. Just keep sticking a newer Tegra chip in each one, up RAM and screen resolution, but keep the basic form factor.

Yep and they can still do their regular revisions (XL, Mini, TV, etc) in between the upgrades.
