Here we go again. Remember how the switch pro turned out? This thread is filled with personal wishes or expectations. When we put those aside and look at the amount of software that switch is selling now vs at the beginning its a lot higher. Sure hardware sales are slowing down some but was still beating xbox and ps up until the last two months.

Is launching an entirely new system this year really that much more profitable for Nintendo as opposed to waiting a year or two and sell potentially alot more switch software before the inevitable plummet at the announcement of a new system?

The DS sold over 20m units in 2010, the 3DS launched Feb 2011. The whole "sales are still high" isn't as convincing an argument as people think it is.

Still on team Holiday 2024 personally though.

And back then, Nintendo was still reacting to its competitors. Since the PS4/5 aren’t really affecting the Switch and they have the handheld market for themselves, they can take their time and release the successor at the right without rushing it (3DS).
