Switch is going to sell a lot longer than it’s home console brethren because of its hybrid console nature. I think it’s going to surprise many people where it ends up.
On top of that, Nintendo, in this generation, seems a lot more lucid than they were in past generations. They were intelligent enough to stretch the 3DS, even though just a few years earlier they were shooting two golden geese (the DS and the Wii) because they wanted their younger geese to have the pen to themselves. I think that even if a Switch 2 comes out Nintendo will still give tons of support to the Switch 1.
IMO, Switch 2 launches with a Switch 2 TV and a Switch 2 hybrid console, while phasing out the Switch 1 hybrid and maintaining Switch 1 Lite in the handheld field. Most software on Switch 2 won’t even need the Switch 1: AAA dominance in the industry is dead, the bulk of gaming sales comes from smaller studios.
I could be wrong, but I think Nintendo got it right with the Switch and their next generation should be building on the Switch, creating a new form factor while maintaining the hybrid. Also, I want to see Nintendo jump back into the fitness industry full steam. No one wants to go to the gym anymore, and it’s way more fun to exercise with video games than just
