What the hell happened after 2022? Did you decide to go full-on pipe dream?

Too many Sku's is not a good idea.

You beat me to it, but I'm betting we aren't the only ones. Way too many sku's.

Also @op, what the hell is a Switch Girl, and how is it different from a Switch boy? Please feel free to answer in as puerile a way as is humanly possible.

I really like the Switch SP model. I can see that taking off. Ill buy one.

Also i know Nintendo stated 10 years however i dont believe it. The hardware wont hold up in 10 years and as the generations continue gamers are becoming more power enthusiast. 

They will release an upgraded Switch with more power or a Switch 2.0.

Id believe it when i see it.

They can't support the Switch for 10+ years if they want even some 3rd party support after 7-8 the Switch has been out.

Switch GO, Boy, Mini and TV don't fit with the general "switching" concept (switch controllers and switch from TV to handheld or vice versa), unless they call them something else. The XL version is the most likely to happen soon. Personally I think we will see plenty of hardware revisions, with better internals, battery, screen etc and with time, limited compatibility of original Switch with the latest software, but still fully compatible with the accessories. The hardware will change, the concept won't.

too many skus. you guys are really overthink these things

It'll all boil down to whether or not Nintendo (and to a lesser extent third parties) decide to keep supporting it with games. At the end of the day, Switch will continue to live or die on the strength of its library - this is true whether in 2020 or 2025.

Of course, remodels, bundles, price drops, etc won't hurt either, but that's only secondary to the games.

I think if we look at the Gameboy and the DS, Nintendo's other successful handhelds, it seems very possible they can milk a 10 year lifespan out of the Switch. I certainly hope they can, as I've bought enough gaming hardware in the last 5-6 years!

I would be genuinely surprised if Nintendo doesn’t release a Switch with improved graphical capabilities WELL before 2025. The great thing about mobile processors like the Tegra is that new, more powerful models can be released, and games can be made compatible across both platform, with older platforms slowly faced out in favor of new iterations. With PS4 Pro, XBoneX, and New 3DS all being things, I see no reason why we wouldn’t get an improved Switch with better graphical capabilities by 2021.

Look at how Nintendo’s portable line of consoles have gotten multiple SKUs and have been supported:

Game Boy
Game Boy Pocket
Game Boy Light
Game Boy Color

Game Boy Advance
Game Boy Advance SP
Game Boy Micro

DS
DS Lite
DSi
DSi XL

3DS
3DS XL
2DS
New 3DS
New 3DS XL
New 2DS XL

Comments from Nintendo indicate that they are leaning in the direction of more SKUs than usual.

They also subtly commented on an upcoming new version of Nintendo Switch that will be purchased by traditionally Nintendo handheld gamers.

This comment also indicates that the current Nintendo Switch is their SKU for targeting home console gamers, where as the new version only targets handheld console gamers.

The areas where that focus can be better served are by making the Nintendo Switch more pocketable, lower priced, with better battery life and/or not require active cooling. The Mock-ups I made all focus on those points inspired by Nintendo’s comments.

Will they all happen? Maybe, Maybe not, but that is certainly the direction that Nintendo seems to be focused on right now. Nintendo knows that the 3DS will fade as Nintendo Switch grows, and they need to fill that lower price entry point to expand the platform significantly.

People hoping for some powered up SKU that has a bunch of games the original Nintendo Switch cannot run have not paid attention to Nintendo’s history with said revisions. Anytime Nintendo has made such SKUs (i.e. DSi and New 3DS) they have allowed developers to make games for them that do not run on the original models, and the amount of total software that actually forgoes the existing user base has been very very very few titles. It just does not make sense for the financial side of things for developers to cater a portion of the install base rather than the whole install base.

Will Nintendo make Nintendo Switch models with newer and better SOCs? Probably so, but the performance benefit will be marginal to non existent at best, as the focus will be to reduce cost of the total cost of materials (i.e. a 7nm SOC would allow them to put a smaller battery, reduce the entire chassis size, and remove the active cooling).

Nintendo is not focused on upgrading resolution of their consoles. They are still selling a 240p handheld console in 2018 at reduced costs with a very healthy profit margin on hardware and will continue that focus in the future.

In 2023, the Nintendo Switch will still have a 720p screen and Nintendo will be happy with the low cost and high profit margin and will have multiple SKUs.

Nintendo's focus is it leverage its software library to sell its hardware, and to reduce costs of hardware while addressing a wider audience. Focusing on CPU and GPU power and splitting their user base is not where they will expand and Nintendo knows this.
