Yes. It’s always the case with revisions. 

You said 'largely'.  That implies a majority of new Switch Lite sales will be OG Switch owners. 

Further, most revisions increase functionality, not reduce it.  Was the 2DS largely purchased by current 3DS owners?  No.  Functionally reductive revisions are 'largely' purchased by new owners as there is little benefit for current owners to buy again.

Think of all the people who broke and lost their switch and will pick up another one. That happens with handhelds all the time. There’s a reason why the top 15 platforms by attach rate are all home consoles and then you finally get the DS with its measly 5 attach rate. That reason is that same people buy handhelds multiple times, usually with each revision as it means a price reduction.
