Nope, I don't think so. At least 2021 should be a very good year for Nintendo again. The first numbers from Japan indicate that and I'm pretty sure that BOTW 2 will also be released this year, since it's Zeldas 35th anniversary and also the new Horizon for PS5 is confirmed for this year (Zero Dawn launchend simultaneously with BOTW).

Nintendo has only one platform they have to make games for. So it isn't comparable with Wii/DS/3DS/WiiU/ or GameCube/GBA. I don't expect big first party releases in Switch's last year before the successor launches, but this is not the case anytime soon.

Doug Bowser also said that Switch has entered its midlife cycle, so I don't think Nintendo will abandon the Switch soon. I hope they learned their lessons from Wii/WiiU and support their console a bit longer than usual, because they don't know if a successor will be successful. I see a successor coming in 2024, which is still a long time ahead. Until 2023 we should see good first and third party support. 2020 was a bit special, because they couldn't produce enough hardware, so they didn't have to release many games.
