Between end 2024 and early 2025 I think is the best spot.
There's a lot of things to take in consideration that can take a considerable amount of time while projecting the next console, like for example the hybrid concept: The design of a hybrid console is pretty complex and a lot of tests should be made to avoid major issues.
Plus if we assume that backwards compatibility is certain, then they will be burning a lot of brain cells to make this work while having a considerable jump in specs and a decent price tag.
Switch released 4 years and a few months after Wii U with no BC, a questionable design, a modest jump in graphics, Cross gen Zelda & MK8 port as first titles and joy cons problems all the way.
I really can't tell why people are so baffled that a next gen console isn't already announced or released
