Do you realize that the Famicom/NES lasted ~7.5 years before its successor?  And the NES had direct competition (PC Engine, Mega Drive).  Switch doesn't have that issue and its hardware/software sales are still incredibly healthy... without a price drop since launch, no less.

I live in the States.  Launched (NES) in 86, replaced in 91.  5 years.  Either way, if I'm wrong I'm wrong.  Nothing to get excited about.  I'm expecting new hardware from Nintendo late 2023 or early 2024.  I've owned every piece of Nintendo hardware and thus look forward to it.

I live in the US too, but that's irrelevant as to when the console debuted.  And the NES launched in '85 here in the States, not '86.
