I expect it'll happen at the end of 2019 (calendar year) - sooner if Labo or any other new IP takes off. Even if something like Labo isn't a huge hit, Nintendo have a lot of momentum, established ever-green sellers (Zelda, Odyssey, Kart, Splatoon 2), more system-sellers coming (Smash, Pokemon) and that's without any new announcements at E3 or later this year. Switch is unlike anything else on the market and the concept has caught on and the software library is filling out nicely; all of these things combined suggest to me Switch will be going strong into 2019 at least (later than that will depend on Nintendo's first-party output and whether they manage the system's momentum well or allow it to drop as they did with Wii - which I think they could avoid given they're not jugging different hardware lines).
