Yes sales and profits are dropping for Switch, but the profits are still nearly historic and releasing a new console is risky, Nintendo's track record clearly shows that a successor is far from guranteed to produce the same level of success and profits, the Wii transition to Wii U clearly shows that. Nintendo went from having their most successful era in their history to their worst within a matter of a few years. Nintendo might be content just to keep the Switch for a little longer since it's still hugely profitable.

It's only risky if Nintendo does something stupid like they did with the Wii U. GB to GBA shows that if the Switch 2 is just the Switch but a lot more powerful and in general better then it's for sure gonna be a big success. The Switch brand is so strong that the successor should easily outpace the Switch's first couple years by a notable margin as long as they don't screw up in a big way. Considering they don't have a another system to fall back on now I imagine they're gonna play things safe and smart instead of trying to rock the boat so I don't see them messing it up.
