Wrong. "Won't be hurt in any way" is too strong. It changes Switch buyer's expectations, that alone will lead to lower sales. More people will wait for the Switch 2, or avoid buying the Switch OLED, or just hold on if their Switch breaks etc. Not every Switch buyer is interested in a Steam Deck, that is not how it works.

It won't. The currently situation for the handheld market is Switch or nothing. If people want a handheld, they will buy whatever is available they won't just stop gaming and wait. And this is considering demand for Switch is small: It's not, it's crazy high. Why would demand for a hot product decrease if you just don't have any other option left?
