Like a lot of other folks have mentioned (such as javi741 who made a great post on the subject), I think 2020 was Switch's peak year. It's hard to compete with COVID-19, but also the government (least in the US) was giving out very generous stimulus checks which was likely being directed toward Nintendo Switch purchases. That wont be the same in 2021 and beyond (though we can never doubt the government's ability to give out free money).

I think what's going to really hurt Nintendo over the next year or two is the lack of Software. 2020 at least had Animal Crossing, but 2021 has really nothing.

If you ignore Pokemon BDSP, and Mario Party, then yes, there is nothing in 2021. 

More like forgot, to be honest. Still, I don't see either of those moving much. Mario Party is already on the Switch. For Pokemon, I think the series is at a bit of a low point due to the disappointment with Sword and Shield and the Pokemon Company's mismanagement of the brand. A lot back be said about Pokemon, but look at the sale of Sword and Sheild against Nintendo other titles. Zelda, Animal Crossing and Mario Kart have all outsold it, and Mario Odyssey is only behind by less than half a million. Contrast this to the 3DS, and the only game that beat Pokemon was Mario Kart. People aren't happy with the look of BDSP and Nintendo has been very quite with the title. It wont be pushing Switch units this holiday season.
