Steve in a nutshell:
The shortage is fake !
PS5 and new Xbox will be out in a month.
It is Nintendo's last chance to sell as many as possible.
It's portable, it's 200 dollars, it has never had a price drop, BotW2 will come out one day, it has set record sales this year, PS5 and XSX are probably supply constrained for a while, and IMHO there is probably a pro model on the horizon which will lead to many rebuys. Also, the fanbase will rebuy even without a pro, and non-fanbase will keep hopping on once/if price drops hit because they still want to play BotW and Odyssey. Also, games for the majority of the rest of the Switch's presumed remaining lifetime will take place during a time when most games are also still being released on PS4 and XBO, meaning that ports from those systems could likely still come to Switch just as easily as they do now, and also there is no evidence the shortage is fake and also there is evidence of record setting sales...but okay. Also, viral games like AC give Nintendo SO MUCH cred with casuals, they are just always onboarding new gamers.
You really think the Switch will stop selling because of the new Playstation and Xbox's came out? You really think the shortage was fake? Will the other consoles stop selling when the next Nintendo console comes out?
Also, hopefully it doesn't take a month for my PS5 to get here.

It will obviously affect Switch sales, you'd have to be crazy to think otherwise. That being said, while the market for the PS5 and the Switch do overlap, there is a market of consumers who are only interested in the Switch and are not interested in the biggest shiniest new console. So next gen will not affect that market.
What experience?
All consoles have had shortages lately, the Switch has been the only one restocking. Fun fact, I picked up a job at a local store just to make some extra money and the most I've seen of the Xbox/PS4 was 2-3 of them come in. The PS4s are gone already, the Xboxes haven't been touched nor has there been interest in them.
Meanwhile, when we get in 40 Animal Crossing Switches, they're gone in a day and a half. This has happened twice already. People are always calling about pre-ordering the PS5, or if there's any Switches in stock.
I haven't heard a single question about the Xbox, and the most anyone's asked about it is if we have Xbox One controllers.
