This is a great point I didn't even consider, I mean would the extra sales be worth it to mandate a hardware revision? I honestly doubt it.
With Switch Succesor being released in late 2024, Nintendo would still have to see significant sales for the switch in Europe continued into 2025 to start investing in it and release by mid 2026 to be in compliance.
In the past 12 months the ship has shipped 4.83 million Switches to Europe, which includes the UK which is no longer an EU country. By 2027, I don't see the Switch still selling enough consoles for it to be worth Nintendo having a hardware revision. So I see the Switch as continuing being sent to the UK and all other regions but the EU
