This logic makes no sense.

PS4/XBO early adopters became NSW early adopters and will become PS5/XSX early adopters.........how does that affect future sales of NSW?

NSW owners buying a PS5/XSX doesnt affect Nintendo, they already got their money from those people.

The people who bought a PS4/XBO for $150-300 in 2017-2019 are more likely to buy a NSW in 2020/2021 than a PS5/XSX.

What makes you think that? People are always dying to buy a next gen console. Hell, I remember people buying and selling the ps4 at a premium because they were all sold out in the stores. If over 60% of the people who currently own a Switch also have a ps4/Xone, it's very likely that they will be buying a next gen console next year. Now ask yourself this, if you have a Switch and just got a ps5, will you be spending your money on Switch games or would you be buying games for your brand new console that'll make Switch games look like 3DS games in comparison? Also, will people still be so interested to complement their ps4 with a Switch if they can also get a ps5?

Obviously, graphics aren't everything and Nintendo does have its hardcore fans who just want to play the latest Mario and Zelda games. But with the Switch it seems their audience overlaps with the ps4/360 audience who are also into "core" games. That's why Nintendo better bring it in 2020 because a lot of Switches will be collecting dust when something like GTA6 comes out and the appeal of having a powerful handheld that can do most "modern" games disappears. 

Seriously? Late adopters of one console are likely to be late adopters of another. We already know many people who bought the switch were early adopters of ps4/x1 so it makes sense that at least a good chunk of late adopters also get the switch in 2020-2022 when it's available for cheaper.
