Will Switch outsell DS? PS2? Or neither?

The thing is, they haven't really tried yet. Mariko was essentially just a die-shrink which resulted in less power draw, but nothing more.

We know NVidia is working on something (they also need new hardware for their Shield line of hardware, which use the same chips as the Switch do), but what exactly will come is still unclear as of now. It doesn't even need to be more expensive, Nintendo surely is at a position where they could drop the price of the current model and bring the new one at the current price instead of releasing a new "pro" at a higher pricetag.

As for the bolded part, Gameboy Color, DS Lite and PS3 slim say you're wrong.

The DS Lite and PS3 Slim were the first major hardware revisions for those systems. The first major hardware revision will often do a lot. Later revisions (e.g., the DSi, Super Slim)... not so much. I explicitly stated this before, but I guess I wasn't clear enough.

The DSi and DSi XL sold over 41 million units, that is not a short term or small boost.
