If this Switch 2 belongs too the 9th for you, this means that Nintendo kills the current Switch, at best this Switch 2 can be retro compatible but it will be a really different machine with specific games not usable on the current Switch/Lite

Well, yeah, they'll drop support for the Switch at some point. By the end of this year, the Switch will be close to four years old. Given the usual life cycle for Nintendo consoles, I imagine they'll start winding things down for the Switch within the next two years, with the Switch 2 (assuming that's what their next-gen system will be) coming out no later than Nov. 2023. That's closer to the launch of the PS5 & XSX than the Switch's launch was to that of the PS4 & XBO.

I think the same, but I see the next 9th gen hybrid system of Nintendo (a sort of Switch but with the power of a PS4(Pro)), for Nov 2022 instead, which let a comfortable room for a Switch Pro this year running games at higher resolution and framerate, but it will be still quite far from base X1 and PS4 in term of power.
