If Switch 2 stumbles out of the gate and doesn't establish itself like many of us expect, then that changes the conversation.  Otherwise, it's highly unlikely in my opinion.

Switch 2 has very little impact on the PS5 as they serve different markets. What will impact it is if China does anything to stop the flood of 'gray market' imports of Japanese consoles into China, as the Chinese government loves to have full oversight and control and these gray market imports skirt around that oversight and control. I would not be surprised if China cracks down hard on the gray market in the near future.

Which is also another reason why if you're a gamer in China, you'd want to hurry and get a Japanese Switch or PS5 now. Though I think the Chinese government is kind of content to look the other way on a lot of gray markets there.
