Does this affect the black market price of the console? Or do they generally stay the same?

If it comes for the lower price (1400~) it'll definitely affect it, because there would be no point paying the same for it there if you can get on an official way.
If it comes for the price I expect (1900+) probably not, maybe we shall see some of the smaller prices out there getting higher as it'll still be lower than the official by some amount to keep the attention and the seller can profit more. (For example, I bought Disgaea 5 for the PS4 for 190 before it was announced for the Switch, it came for around 350~400 for the Switch here, and the PS4 version is now around 260 on the same site I got it, yup.)
The biggest issue is the pricing for the games.
If we can get NS games for as lower as Sony games, the system would see a substantial growth in sales. (For example I can pre order GoW right now for 160, while I need around 350 to get Zelda, so yeah...)

if you know how to search you can get games for a good price, I buy physical games for switch in the launch always around BRL 230-250, you also find the most popular games like mario, mario kart and zelda around Brl 200 on sites such as bigboygames, zigstore, olx and mercadolivre that are escape options for avoid to pay exorbitant prices, for example recently I paid BRL 150 in mario + rabbids (used but with few days of use), Brl 140 in Rayman Legends (sealed ), Brl 140 Doom (used with few days of use too), Brl 100 Disgaea 5 complete (used), Brl 160 Resident evil revelations Collection (sealed) and BRL 110 Sonic Forces (Used), of course which doesnt compare to the prices of ps4 or xbox one games, but still good prices for imported games.
