Well, naturally as a Switch owner I want it to have a long and plentiful lifespan. I think I'll always be a bit bitter at Nintendo for only giving the Wii 4 years of proper support and I hope they never cut a console that unnecessarily short again.

That's the thing those guys don't get. Nintendo isn't exactly in control of when their successors launch.  The market is. If in 2021, we start to get a decline all year for Switch regardless of price cuts, and 2022 sees more of the same, you can bet Nintendo will make sure they are ready for a 2023 launch of the Switch 2. If a price cut stops the decline, they will probably wait til 2024.

Still, a 6 year span between consoles isn't exactly short. It's more like the average.

As I said, I'd be happy for Switch to have a 6 year lifespan and be replaced in March 2023. I just would rather it not be cut much shorter than that.
