Nintendo's success with the Switch both a blessing and a curse?

Naturally, by 2021 the Switch will be 5 years old, every major series will have been out for the system for at least a year already. We can hope it wont be a steep decline.

Why would we hope it's not a steep decline? I like my Switch. But, I would like to see Nintendo move the concept forward. If sales decline quickly, the next generation will come sooner. That's better for gamers.

I'd rather prefer my console generations as long as possible. I don't like the idea of changing hardware fast, if a generation can last close to a decade, I'm fine with it. That way we can actually get considerable jumps in tech instead of just small improvements.
