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.

Do they still lose money on the consoles? Maybe Nintendo never did. ICR.
I don't think they want to make "gacha" -- they just make Mario Kart for Android and iPhone. Maybe people aren't ready to pay $60 for that.
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
