Now that Nintendo only has one platform they need to release new hardware while its still selling well to avoid periods of time of low sales. 

Fair point, but my response was regarding a new Switch when BotW2 launches....  that ain't happening.  Perhaps a 2023 xmas new hardware?  Maybe.  2024, sure.  But we aren't getting new hardware in less than a year.  

*by new hardware I mean a real upgrade, not minor

It makes the most sense for Nintendo to release the new hardware with the new Zelda. I think it will happen. Nintendo loves to launch new hardware with a big game like Zelda. And the fact Nintendo has been so quiet when it comes to big games they are developing for a while now really lines up with the idea that they are holding off on games so they can launch them on Switch 2. Nintendo loves to have a drum beat of games supporting the new hardware for the first year or two after launch of the new hardware.
