For the PS5 that's expected but for the Switch what do you think is gonna cause this recent sales trend to stop and even reverse somewhat?

No chance that the decline can be stopped, remember this is happening BEFORE the big Switch 2 direct in April, which will be the start of mass marketing for Switch 2. I think after the direct the Switch will probably struggle to sell over 20K a week until the launch of Switch 2, also because they will have no software releases that could lead to increased sales for Switch.

Yep. A ton of people still won't know that the Switch 2 is even a thing yet let alone that it's releasing this year and potentially in just 2-3 months. While more people will be learning about that every day it'll accelerate big time starting April 2nd. In the next few months a potential final Switch model could give a boost but that'll basically be it for the Switch other than the holiday season this year being the last one that'll do anything of note for it.
