I think Sonic's handheld success has more to do with limitations of past handhelds forcing them to stick to 2D games; I doubt the Gameboy Advance could run Sonic Heroes.

The Nintendo Switch seemingly doesn't have such restrictions (although it's important to note that, despite appearing in the reveal trailer, Skyrim and NBA are not confirmed for the console) so that doesn't apply.

Furthermore the (what I'm assuming is) 3D Sonic game, Sonic Project 2017, has been confirmed for the console, whilst the 2D, classic throwback game, Sonic Mania, has not.

On the subject of Sonic's future, I think it would be a good idea for Sega to get devoted fans who understand the series, such as Whitehead, to work on classic-style games, whilst Sonic Team push ahead making modern games like Project '17.

And I guess Boom can exist too if people really want it.
