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.

First, the hybrid concept is selling but like any other system seller aspect of a console, it loses selling power over time. Even if just because there are two new consoles.

Second, as i wrote above, consumers didn't care that PS4 was 400$, that XB1 was more expensive (had to do more with it being bundled with something that gamers didn't care and had no alternative, plus other things).
If PS5 and XB4 is everything gamers wanted from next gen, you can bet a 200 Switch won't have the effect you think it will, specially when Switch isn't stealing costumers from MS and Sony.

Hybrid concept cant be loosed buy time, hybrid concept will be one of main reasons for buying Switch even after PS5/XB2 arives on market, offcourse with stronger Switch lineup over years and lower price point Switch will become more desirable product later for plenty of consumers and can easily sell very well despite PS5/XB2 on market. For instance 3DS was selling very well despite PS4/XB1 and even Wii U arived on market.

Point is that more people will buy Switch when price point is much more afordible, you keep missing fact that Switch can keep selling good despite PS5/XB2, same like PS4 was keep selling great despite Switch arived on market thats also selling good, Nintendo dont need to steal consumers from MS and Sony in order to selling good, but offcourse that buy time more PS4/XB1 users will buy Switch also.
