I also remember people declaring the Switch "dead" because it was only selling around 20k a week.  What does that say about the Switch 2 when it is selling like this and it is supposed to be in its prime?  Did the Switch 2 already peak or will it recover next year?  It did have some amazing sales right before the price increase, but sales since have been pathetic.

This things should be temporary. Given that the generation of Switch 2 will most likely be similar to Switch 1, and given the love for handhelds and hybrids in Japan, and how 37M+ people bought Switch 1, Switch 2 has bright future in front of it. Just like the Switch 1 had like a cooldown period before it's real peak (from late 2019 onwards), such is the case with the Switch 2 as well. It should last till 2033 or something like that, so it's peak should start from next year or even 2028. Another example is the DS. It had mediocre sales in 2005 (compared to it's peak) and it blowed in 2006 and 2007. Switch 2 is still well ahead of 2018 and even 2019 year's of Switch 1, by this point in the year, and those two were also stronger than it's launch 2017 year.
