2015 Switch tech is not the most powerful at this moment, as there are other devices already over Switch. Some smartphones for example, althought those are used for multitasking purposes and are way more expensive.

DS seems untouchable to me, while 3DS lifetime sales are going to be almost surpassed after only 4 years of Switch sales. I doubt Nintendo prefers the 3DS sales pace over the Switch, which have a bigger and more diverse library than the 3DS at the same time thanks to a better western support.

I agree also that the mentioned games are at least 4 years away from release, and that's exactly why having a Switch succesor sooner than later could help to develop and release the Switch version at the same time than the other versions, or at least not so far from the og launch.

- A smart phone is not a dedicated gaming device, what other portable is active now in the market so yes NS is the most powerful in that market.

- You made a moot point here you're arguing about how long such support can keep a platform going well 3DS and DS had the exact same length in being active on the market that's the point, sales rate is a different factor altogether.

- No if anything those games being 4 years away is why the shouldn't be a release in 2022 if anything the release needs to be when these games come out so the likes of Virtuous and so on can have an even easier time porting games release at the time and in future because 4 years means Nvidia have at least another 2 years of advancements they can push through for the platform meaning less compromises have to be done.

- NS and Nvidia Shield are the only dedicated gaming devices in the portable market afaik, and both share comparable tech. That does not change the fact that there's already better mobile tech, even if that tech is still not implemented in the dedicated videogame market. Nvidia is already working on some other new tech and architecture like amprere or the DLSS 2.0.

- By holiday 2002 or Spring 2023 the Switch woul have the same active life than both DS and 3DS (6 years).

- Releasing the succesor by the time those games come, it would led to very late ports, or rushed ones. My assumptions comes from Nintendo wanting to get those games as near as possible from the original release, or even at the same time.
