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

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.

They won't affect switch sales untill 2022, when the switch 2 is coming anyway. The masses don't flock to $399-499 consoles.
