With the official announcement for Switch 2 now a reality, how much will it impact OG Switch from now until release?

Hardly at all, because there's little overlap between late adopters of an old console and early adopters of a new console. Games are still releasing at a consistent pace for the original Switch, so it's not going to be out of the news because of the successor's announcement.

Switch sales will of course be down year over year, but that's because that's the norm for an aging system.

Yeah, everyone who could have gotten a Switch by now probably either already has or is informed enough to simply wait a bit more. Either way, like you said, there could be some impact, albeit minor. Maybe the long wait from now till the Direct is a time to (finally) announce price cut(s)?

Edit: this was originally supposed to be a quote, but it didn't work. I deleted the original one.
