Before shooting your mouth off maybe you can point to how many Nintendo systems actually have performed past year 5 without coming forth with a laundry list of excuses in the last 30 years. Secondly most people didn't rebuy the new larger battery SKU. Most of those people are first time Switch owners. 

Nintendo doesn't give a shit about your obsession with end LTD platform either. In 2022, 2023 they're going to want to hit certain fiscal year targets and keeping the stock price high, the LTD of a platform is not the be all, end all for Nintendo. That's very difficult to maintain profit margins and yearly hardware shipments when you have a very dated piece of hardware. 

In the real world businesses have share holders, not idiot fanboys on the internet to answer to. And they care about the stock price year to year, not some culminate generational hardware total, that doesn't mean that much to them. 

The already mentioned DS has performed past year 5 and it's the closest comparison to Switch because of the health of the software pipeline.

It will be much easier for Nintendo to maintain high profits by acting in accordance with the market instead of rushing out a new console to please you. If you think about the last several years and all your recommendations regarding what Nintendo should do, how Nintendo acted against your advice and became successful, then shouldn't you admit that maybe, just maybe, you don't know all that much about how this business works?

DS is 1/8 Nintendo recent platforms. Any others? The DS is going to pull away from the Switch in its sales curve soon if it hasn't already, so I don't think that's really much of a comparable unless Switch is going to sell 30 million+ the next two years (doubtful). DS was the exception to the rule, not the rule. 

You don't know how business works, you're just obsessed with a dumb platform LTD, you don't understand concepts like a company having a bigger responsibility like yearly fiscal targets and their stock price. You're motivated by stupid fanboy wars, a business suit is not going to give a shit about that. 

The LTD of a platform is only one factor and quite frankly it's not as high you make it out to be. Stock price and yearly profit totals are more important along with maintaining brand momentum.
