Regarding iterations and new consoles, some of their iterations were focused on one country, or only released limited quantities, or weren't beefing up the hardware but instead making it smaller with less overall features, or a combination of these. I will be focusing on 4 significant final big iterations below:

JapaneseJapanese
Final Big IterationRelease DateSuccessorRelease Date
Difference (years)
Gameboy Color10/1998GBA3/20012.4
GBA SP2/2003DS12/20041.83
DSI XL10/20093ds2/20111.33
New 3ds XL10/2014Switch3/20172.42
Avg.1.99 years

So, considering OLED is very much like these iterations above, I predict that Switch 2 will launch 2 years (like the average above) after OLED Switch launches, so October 2023. But, if they release it quicker like they did the 3ds after the DSI XL, it could launch as early as February 2023.

But how can we know that the OLED model is the final big iteration?

Many thought that the DSi would be the final big iteration.
