Switch would be a clear leap over DS, but like a Wii Pro (which was like a GameCube Pro).
While the industry and Nintendo can be unpredictable, I don't see this earlier Switch coming close in sales to the actual Switch.
It would be a clear success, thanks to Pokémon.
There would be very little AAA third-party support. Wii had very little of that, Switch doesn't have a lot despite how popular of a platform it is.
A lot of the 3DS library would still happen in this timeline.
-Ocarina of Time Remake (no 3D)
-Super Mario 3D Land
-Mario Kart 7
-Fire Emblem: Awakening
-Animal Crossing: New Leaf
-The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
-Super Smash Bros, 4
-Pokemon Gen 6 and 7
And so on.
Switch (Switch 2 in this case) similar to how we actually know it would still launch in March 2017. The specs could be the same, or they might be slightly better than we got. At any rate, it would still be a generational leap over the 2011 Alternate History Switch.
