It's referencing this quote from Furukawa (president) in February

“We believe that the Nintendo Switch business is now in its fourth year and is just in the middle of its life cycle. Rather than just the next year, I think about things in terms of what to do the following year and the year after that.”

It's in the middle now, and they haven't changed that POV. He references there two more fiscal years past this one as being basically already considered, so that takes you right to ... March 2023 or 2023 broadly. 

Provide a source for that quote, because what I remember is that the full context of Furukawa's statements earlier this year was that Switch had just entered the mid-phase of its lifecycle which is in line with the current tweet from Dave Gibson.

Regarding an earlier post of yours, the 3DS was a troubled platform because it required an early price drop and yearly revisions in order to have decent sales. Compare that to Switch which pulls off notably higher numbers without breaking a sweat and it's easy to spot a clear difference and understand why the 3DS cannot serve as a basis for a Switch sales analysis.
