There's of course little chance this will happen. But if it does, Nintendo will still be swimming in money. Unless Nintendo makes some really dumb decisions out of the gate with the Switch 2 (we're talking Wii U era mistakes), it's all but guaranteed to be a home run. And so if the Switch hypothetically has a large drop in a year or so it really won't be a problem. The software and online will still sell to more than make up for declining hardware sales.
Honestly, we might see Switch 2 peak early like the Wii did. Switch 2 could still be a homerun but have a sharp cliff. I think that's more likely than a sharp cliff for the Switch.
