For one, all of the rumors point to the next console being aimed for 2024, so it won't be there in time for Christmas. For another, Nintendo rarely discounts their main consoles just because a successor comes out. The "Nintendo 2DS" system went to its lowest price of $100 MSRP in 2015[0], one year before the Switch was even announced, and included a free game. But when the Switch came out, neither the 3DS/2DS systems, nor the home console Wii U, saw a price drop in response. Other consoles, like their Wii, Gamecube, and DS, saw price drops near the end of the lifespan, but not in response to the new console coming out. And the Switch has kept its same MSRP this entire time, not counting the Switch Lite coming out at a cheaper price tag. Not to say that'll never happen, but historically, the price cut would've happened by now...
