Nintendo Will Support Switch For More Than 5-6 Years
The Switch, however, will not be like that, as, speaking to Nikkei in an interview, Nintendo’s President Tatsumi Kimishima has confirmed that the company intends to support it for more than just the traditional life cycle period of 5-6 years. The system could be supported for anywhere from 7-10 years, although Kimishima didn’t get into the specifics of just how Nintendo plans to keep the Switch viable for that long.
Assuming the 3DS is a model for how the Switch will be handled, I suppose we can imagine hardware revisions, including ones with incremental power upgrades (such as the New 3DS), as well as extended game support (in 2018, the 3DS is still getting major releases from Nintendo)- but it will be interesting to see exactly how that all plays out.

CraigTom So..... what happens when they stop supporting it, 5-6 years go by fast. Hopefully we get to see some more games coming to the switch because right now, not much to play.
Something new/better comes along. But it wont be rushed. So it will work and be worth it, most probably. But who can predict the future?
I'd love to see this continually adapt in the future, got one of my own. Love it.

Mikey Such a great console, in my opinion the best hand held console ever released as of yet.
was going to disagree with you until I read "hand held console". For sure, since the 3DS imo, this for sure has been the upper hand for hand held consoles.

That is awesome. If the switch continues to do as well as it is doing now, Xbox and PlayStation better watch out in the years to come.
