I'm gonna say no. Figure Switch will be replaced in 2024, and sell 140+ million.

Only way I see it passing PS2 is if Nintendo uses the upgraded model to bring a high tech exclusive line of games and sort of treats it as a Switch 1.5 that gets a lot of people to upgrade to be able to play add a "high tech" library of games to their Switch and this extends the Switch life out to like 2026. But I doubt that's the plan.

If the revision has dlss like the rumors are saying that could be what brings high tech games. Furkawa wiewing Sony and Microsoft as competition also supports a big upgrade coming.

Well yeah I'm assuming the rumors are correct and that it'll use DLSS to do 4k docked. But that doesn't mean Nintendo is going to go with this strategy that I laid out. I doubt that is the plan, as it'd also split the library and stuff and it'd be confusing, but I'm just saying if they did pursue that and some how found a way to make it successful that's the only thing I could see leading to an extending of the Switch lifecycle well beyond 2024 and allowing it to beat PS2 numbers. I'm guessing it'll just be a standard upgrade that Nintendo always puts out and it won't change their whole strategy for the Switch. The upgraded Switch would probably need to be like $400 to have the power boost needed to create a "Switch 1.5" type device that can more readily graphically handle PS4/XB1 level games.
