I could definitely see the Nintendo Switch outselling the Wii, as it gets multiple hardware revisions and a longer life on shelves (along with all the other stuff you mentioned).

The only thing really stopping the NS from outselling the DS (long term) is that Nintendo will probably release a backwards compatible successor (maybe in 2024?) hamstringing its potential lifetime sales (maybe ~110m lifetime?).

And, obviously the always unknown factor of other new cool devices might switch things up as well, providing something people might buy in lieu of a Nintendo Switch (though I think this is rather unlikely seeing how stagnant things have been the past 5 years, sans the NS of course :P ).
