I see the Switch's successor releasing after 5 years, then +1 year of support after it's successor is out.

5 years life cycle and maybe 4.5 years of support

Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Well, it could last longer, yes, but it also could last less than that.

We don't know the details between Nvidia and Nintendo's partnership, so we ignore if Nvidia can decide that they no longer want to produce the Tegra X1, forcing Nintendo to either keep the Switch alive, but powered by an underclocked X2, or to launch a Switch 2 powered by the same Tegra X2 (or a newer model) at full capacity.

Time will tell.

Please excuse my bad English.
