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.

With how popular it's become I would hope so! It'll have basically the same life if not longer than a normal console! That's crazy for a hand held device.
