When will Switch pass Wii?

Until later in 2022, most multiplatform games will have started development on ps4 and merely be ported (or just run in 4k on the 10th gen consoles through BC, like a souped up ps4 pro and x1x). Meaning the switch doesn't have hardware barriers on getting multiplatforms until then. And after that it doesn't matter because it will be time fot the switch 2. And it was said many times that even if hardware was a problem for ports, a stronger switch revision wouldn't change that due to small base.

I agree, minus the last two sentences. I think Switch 2 comes in 2024. And I think any Switch model will do well enough to justify the meager ports we've gotten thus far. If they'd make Witcher 3 for 40 million Switch consoles, they'll make the 2022 titles for the 40 million consoles the Switch Pro will likely have by then. We don't get every port, but thus far we've gotten the ones I've cared about: Skyrim, Witcher 3, Crash, Spyro, and Outer Worlds. It's not a lot, and a Switch Pro wouldn't get us a lot more, but it's some, and a Switch Pro would probably get us a few more. Switch stands a great chance of beating Wii no matter what happens though. Pro model or not. 

Unrealistic/impossible expectations. Expecting nintendo to wait 7-7.8 years to replace the switch or that a niche hardware revision can sell anywhere near 40m units in 2 years.
