My thinking is a 5year cycle is what will happend.
Im not sure Nintendo will go 7 years (2024) with the switch.

The tegra chip they used is already dated, and was fabricated on 20nm planner nodes.
Imagine what a newer chip could do? as long as its "arm" chip, they can probably get backwards compatability.

I'd love to see a 7nm chip from nintendo, going into a Switch 2, at 2022.
Also it makes sense, by then PS5 +XB2 will be out, Nintendo should have a new product as well.

Nintendo doesn't need to keep pace with Sony/MS anymore, this is clear in them releasing Switch midway through the life of PS4/Xbone. The PS5 and Scarlet don't mean there needs to be a Switch successor as they occupy different market niches and don't directly compete.

The 3DS was more dated than the Switch technologically and it got 6 years before replacement, and Switch is selling much better than 3DS, there's no reason it should have a shorter lifespan.

Yeah. The Switch should have a longer lifespan, like 7-10 years. Switch's successor arrives in 2024/2025. Because of that i believe two or three versions. Switch +, New Switch lite + and Switch mini (likewise GBA mini). Three models in 6/7 years of remaining lifespan.

Switch + in 2020/2021 - Better Hardware: 64/128 GB, 8 GB RAM, better batteries ( 8-10 hours), maybe X2 hybrid. 350 $

Switch lite + - 2022 -  Same specs of Switch +, and same screen size of regular lite. 250 - 200$

Switch mini - 2024/2025 - Low specs, Tegra x1 revised, great batteries ( 10-18 hours), minor screen( 540 p maybe?). Cheap product. 150 - 120 $
