I agree that whether it passes PS2 depends on how long it's supported for, but I don't agree that it'll hit any kind of hard limits by the end of this year.

People don't buy the Switch for graphics or the latest AAA blockbusters, and it was behind on power from day 1, so it's hardware being outpaced won't kill its sales.

It will stop selling when Nintendo stops supporting it, no sooner.

Sure Nintendo games is the main reason the NS sells. But there's a part third party plays on it. While I agree that it wont die cuz new gen is firing up by then some slow down will occur. Could be minimal if some great games launch. 

It’s more about saturation than anything, just like every console there is a maximum to be sold. Even with price cuts. New revisions can increase sales a little bit, but is not like keep releasing new games over and over will keep the system selling forever.

Also, Bigger games from the same studio tend to release a few years apart from each other.
Also, one of the main advantages about the switch is that Nintendo was able to re-release WiiU games on the switch and squeeze a lot of sales. 

And nowadays, the price of the switch is cheap.
