Definitely likely until the Switch 3 arrives, that's for sure. Anything releasing from here on out is just going to be too expensive to compete with Switch 2 sales, considering we have Pokemon Gen 10 next year and probably 3D Mario. In the years to follow, we will get heavy-hitters like a brand new Zelda game, a traditional Splatoon game, Smash Bros, Animal Crossing, possibly a 2D Mario and eventually Pokemon Gen 11 - to say nothing of any other Pokemon titles, Mario Parties, etc. And Switch 2 will still receive a decent amount of 3rd party games considering current gen will be supported for the foreseeable future.
The only thing that would stand a chance price-wise would be the upcoming PS Portable and I don't see it competing in sales with the aforementioned lineup of Switch 2. Most Playstation/tech fans are still going to want a next-gen experience compared to what will essentially be a handheld PS5. And it will still be more expensive than Switch 2.
Potential price hikes will affect everything, Switch 2 the least, in fact, due to less RAM requirements. Throw in the prospects of a Switch 2 Lite and it's a done deal.
