Switch Tops 98M, PS5 Outsells Xbox Series - Global Hardware Nov 28 to Dec 4

There has not been anything solid or concrete that points to that direction of "Switch 2 in 2022." Just pure rumor and speculation. In fact, the solid and concrete knowledge we DO have has suggested the opposite: That the Switch is not going anywhere any time soon and we're still a long ways away from a successor. 

The most solid details we've gotten out of the Switch's successor was "we are still going through internal discussions on concept, timing, etc, and discussing everything."

That doesn't sound like a system that's coming out next year. 

Edit: Furthermore, most Nintendo console launches come with a dry software lineup for its predecessor. The Wii got jack-shit outside of Skyward Sword, Return to Dreamland, and Xenoblade Chronicles (overseas) in its last two years before the Wii U came out. The less I say about the Wii U's software drought, the better. And even the 3DS was experiencing it to a degree that last year before the Switch came out. It got Fire Emblem Fates (overseas), Kirby Planet Robobot, and Pokemon Sun/Moon. But after that, I'm drawing a blank. Post '04 GameCube before the Wii came out. Post '00 N64 before the GameCube came out, it goes on. But the Switch in 2022, based on what we know so far, looks to be the strongest lineup of games it has had since its launch year. That doesn't look like a console they're about to replace.

There are very obvious and clearcut sings and indicators to let you know when a brand new Nintendo console is about to release... And I'm not seeing any of them.
