In 2027 in Europe the 'Right to Repair' rules come into effect. This would mean a easy to replace battery.

It is rumored that the NS2 will get a redesign for the Euro region for this reason, but off course this could mean the end of the NS1 in the Euro region too.

I could though see NS1 soldier on for a long time in the Asian/Japan region like the NES/Famicom did.

NS1 is surely get discontinued in Europe. The sales decreased by around 65% this year there and should move a bit above 500k this year. Next year it will sell bellow 200k units, I don't think this is enough to justify a redesign and production line 

There are good chances for sales this year to be bellow 400k units in NA as well, this would be close to Wii U-levels of sales in 2016

Wii U ceased its production by January 2017, I think NS1 will at least keep being sold in NA in 2027 because the production will keep going on for Japan, but will have small retail presence

I'm expecting NS1 in NA in 2027 to be similar to 3DS in NA in 2020, having okay-ish sales in the first half of the year but poor sales in Q3 and Q4 as consequence of Nintendo diverting production to focus entirely on NS2
