I wouldn't be so sure that PS5 and NextXobx won't affect sales.

From sales data we can see that Switch isn't really stealing costumers from it's competitors. So, the most logical conclusion seems to be that those who are buying a Switch are old PS4/XB1 users - who have been given enough time to enjoy their consoles and are open to something new.

Now, that something new is, so far, annuling the graphical and catalogue difference.
When XB2 and PS5 arrive, seeing as their fanbase remains loyal, what might just happen is that Switch's attrative concept is no longer news and most likely, won't be able to keep receiving ports.

It goes both ways, data shows that Switch isnt hurting PS4/XBO but it also shows the success of PS4/XBO  and the lack of most AAA multiplats is not preventing Switch from doing well.

By the time PS5/XB4 arrive in 2020/2021, Switch will start to reach impulse buy territory with a price cut or two (sub-$199), some revisions that cater to specific audiences (Mini, TV, Pro) and have built up a large existing library (possible Nintendo Selects line) so it will easily be able to coexist with PS5/XB4 for a few years.

Agree, not just that when PS5/XB2 arives they will have $400+ price points while Switch will probably have around $200 price point with multiply revisions present on market, but Switch main point and biggest advantage over competition will still be present and that's of course full handheld play.
