I think Nintendo's going to stick with the Switch brand for quite a while, possibly forever. I think the Switch name just makes sense as Nintendo's "Gaming Brand" like PlayStation or Xbox, especially since Nintendo is shifting to be more of a character-based entertainment company rather than just a gaming company. So I expect the successor to the Switch to be an evolution of the current system, rather than some radical new concept. 

Yeah portable consoles is an easy sell for Nintendo. They have no other competitors in that space so they can bank in on their franchises. It wouldn't be a very goodd idea to go back to traditional home consoles imo.

Just look at the sales below. NS is now at 55m and we are about half way into its life.

It's not easier. Nintendo never loses in the portable scene. Nintendo steamrolled  Sega, Atari, Pc engine,  Sony, Neo Geo, Bandai. All the major hardware producers try to beat Nintendo in portable space and lost, fair and square. Sony have all major thrids party with PSP and only have half of sales Nintendo has with Ds.
