Smell ya later 3DS, or rather never.

Ah, the good old days when so many proclaimed the lifetime sales of the two systems would be on par. So much for that.

This year will be PSP, GBA, 360, and PS3 surpassed for sure, possibly even PS1 and Wii.

Crazy to think that the DS and PS2 are even possible now. It all depends on how long Nintendo supports the system. With the rumored 4K mid-gen upgrade possibly coming out this year, I don't see a Switch successor until spring 2024 or later. 

Yes, it would most likely extend NS life as well as DSi did with DS, and just like that the huge existing user base of the original model will keep most new games compatible with it, not fully using the higher power available except for higher framerate, better AA and all the automatic scaling up allowed by game engines and graphics drivers. This will keep on dropping the number of 3rd party home console targeted AAA games, favouring Ninty ones, and also keeping the typical Ninty target as little overlapping with competing ones as possible. Making power whores mad and in denial as usual, but doing a lot of good for Ninty as usual too. and after all doing good for Sony too, as the times of PS2 overwhelming victory are long over, and avoiding a direct clash witn Ninty is most clearly the right way to go, succeed and avoid disruption.
