Nintendo's success with the Switch both a blessing and a curse?

Of course it did. In 2014 Sony only sold 3m ps3's and in 2015 that was just a little over a million. When new consoles come out, current gen always get phased out pretty quickly. We'll see if that'll happen with the Switch as handhelds are a bit of a different market. But Nintendo better have some monster games for 2020 if it wants to keep people interested. 

But Switch 2 isn't releasing in 2020, so we can't expect such a decline. Except you wanna tell us the decline of PS3-sales was caused by the release of the WiiU.

It's not so much about a Switch 2, it's about the next gen consoles coming out next year and how that will affect Switch sales. Sure you can say they are in different markets but you have to keep in mind that around 60% of the Switch owners also have a ps4 and Xone. https://www.nintendoenthusiast.com/npd-60-percent-switch-owners-ps4-xbox-one/

Like I said, the masses usually flock to the latest gadget when it comes to gaming. Right now that's the Switch, but if 60% of the Switch users also own a ps4/Xone, I wonder if the Switch can hold their interest when next gen consoles hit the market and something like GTA6 comes out.
