You are comparing apples to oranges it's like comparing zelda before botw, gtav has taken the franchise to new levels, just look at damn youtube views it has like 4x amount the views of the biggest games ever if you can't see the writing on the wall then just wait when it releases.

It will impact Switch 2 about as much as GTAV did to the Switch ... which was basically no impact. There's no single franchise that Nintendo doesn't own itself that impacts their business really much at all. 

You'd have to somehow lose Pokemon or Mario or Zelda or Mario Kart some how for a franchise to ever impact Nintendo. The beauty of not relying on 3rd parties to sell your hardware is that you're not beholden to them for anything. 

Switch did fine without both GTA and COD, Switch 2 at minimum will have COD guaranteed, so it's already starting from a stronger point. If it can get both that'd be nice too, but it's not really a necessity. I don't think anyone at Nintendo is losing any winks of sleep over GTA6. 

Losing Final Fantasy for example in 1996 (when the news came out) was a far, far, bigger blow to Nintendo at the time. 

GTAV released on 360/ps3, and then on ps4 by the time switch came out gtav is was still selling but ain't no one buying a console for it. since it was 4 year old game and most pc's could run it. it's a whole different story now. It will  differently take away hype from the switch 2. Also its gonna a 12 year wait for a sequel, not 3 or 5.
