Well Nintendo has never made a more successful console with a similar name.

Super NES sold less than the NES

GBA sold less than the GB

Wii U sold less than the Wii

3DS sold less than the DS

Many people want new things from Nintendo. Not just a simple upgrade with a weird gimmick. The Switch 2 would 100% sell less than the Switch.

Making a case for GBA, it sold much more than GB year on year, but it was abandoned in favor to DS

As for SNES I don't think we can say the market was mature enough by the time to custimers understand what a hardware upgrade was meant to be. There was nothing to expect from Nintendo because it was only their second console. It sold less only due to stronger competition with Sega

Wii U was by no means a simple upgrade of Wii. Except in name it was a totally different thing. I will make a case that if it was exaclty a more powerful Wii with the same concept, design and controllers but named "Wii 2" it would have sold at least twice as much lol 

And Im sure you can make a similar case for when the Switch 2 sells less.
