The summer lineup should prevent sales from dipping too much. Fire Emblem, Marvel Ultimate Alliance, Astral Chain & Daemon x Machina are 4 Nintendo published titles releasing between now and Lite and while none of them are likely to be massive sellers, they should keep sales from plummeting.

Let's hope so. It has a hell of a lot of momentum coming off Mario Maker 2 as well, and I suppose the Lite won't appeal to all buyers as the original model remains preferable in some ways. Gonna be interesting to see how the next 2 and a bit months unfold.

For sure, Mario Maker legs will be strong and console gamers will still choose the current model. Sales are likely to have a dip, but it shouldn't be anything massive. July sales should still be really strong, August could be a bit modest though.
