Why are Nintendo Switch sales peaking much later than other Nintendo consoles?

They don't miss every second shot.

8/12 Nintendo systems have been successful and outsold their rivals. Their wins happen because they are well planned and executed products, not because of blind luck or flukes or any such BS.

The recency bias of the Wii U and 3DS losing a shit ton of users from their predecessors is likely a stink that sticks with Nintendo yet in the eyes of some people. They will have to successfully show a successful transition to Switch 2 to dispell that in the eyes of some. Switch 2 needs to be as successful as the Switch or at least close to it. That's just how the cookie crumbles, don't want to be in that situation, next time execute better then. Simple as that. 

That's the thing though, even if Switch 2 is a hit, I'm sure it'll just be some new excuse, some new asterisk/disclaimer.
