You also kinda have to think we'll see a mass migration to nintendo stuff next year if things get extremely bad, with people wanting "classics" and them being almost solely what they've done for the past 10 years.
Like I still think gaming as a whole is a lot like the mineshaft/canary thing where companies keep digging for diamonds but refuse to change their direction, but if one company can capitalize on this market it's definitely nintendo.
Even if they do create a switch "successor" it'll probably be after a bunch of remodels, like what they did with the DS and the XL's/slims/"lite's". The thing's been around for what, like 6-7 years? I'd say they still have a decent amount of runway before they have to think of creating a new console.
See, I don't think they have a reason to (to make more at least, as they already have a decent amount of mobile ones, mostly pokemon). Sure it may get them slightly more people buying their games, but they'd lose out on a bit of the console market.
If someone buys a switch and only gets like 4-5 games for it, that's still way more than if a whale dropped $4-500 on one of the gatcha mobile things.

Perhaps that's why Ni tendo isn't really talking about a switch successor. I know tons of websites are nearly demanding one.
"You need to make games like ours that never sell."
"Our lowest selling game this year was Advance Wars Remake. It sold a million in a month."

I honestly think Nintendo is going to start making mobile games.
The switch hardware is basically that, if I understand correctly.

If I can find it, someone posted a graphic that details the switch vs the last two-three gens of Sony and the sales for the switch dwarfed em
