Will Switch outsell DS? PS2? Or neither?

So, if the Switch Pro turns out to be a greater power upgrade compared to the Wii U going to Switch and with a completely different graphics engine compared to that of the OG Switch, you think that it is laugh-worthy to even debate whether this constitutes a new generation?

I could care less about being "fair" to Microsoft and Sony.  The numbers on the front of this website eventually become meaningless if we have no criteria for what constitutes a new generation.  If the Switch Pro is 4K with DLSS and releases 5 years after the original Switch, I have no idea why wouldn't consider this a new generation the same way we did going from Wii to Wii U.

So Xbox One X, the huge leap in power compared to Xbox One, is okay to be considered same gen?

If Switch Pro 4K + DLSS is true, the power leap is going to be much greater than Xbox One vs XBox One X.  Where do we draw the line on this?  Also, if Nintendo does not provide backwards compatibility on many of their new releases after the Switch Pro releases, will this constitute a new generation in your view?

The New 3DS had exclusives that didn't work on the OG 3DS (Xenoblade) but we did not consider this to be a new generation, that said we did consider the GBC to GBA a new generation because the GBA had games that were not backwards compatible.  I just feel that there are not clear lines on what constitutes a new generation.  The whole point of my earlier post is that I just think that it needs more discussion, especially given how much time we spend on this site comparing the sales of platforms.  I have no idea why I am getting flamed and laughed at for posting this.
