Will Switch outsell DS? PS2? Or neither?

I won't read 18 pages of comments however I think it has the potential to do it, but as we know so did the Wii and we saw what Nintendo did with it, quick death.

It all depends on when Nintendo wants to kill it quickly or support it with games and run it for a few more years lol.

It's way different though. The Wii peaked very early i.e in it's 3rd year and then had a not so steep slope decline. It was a reasonable enough decline. Whereas switch might just peak this year, it's 4th and it has sold more before the peak has happened plus it's peak is much higher. The Wii doesn't even come close. The switch potentially has 3 years that wills ell higher than the Wii's peak. As Norion has shown, even a bad slope will lead to 140mil and as others have shown, a decent slope will lead to outselling the PS2. All ninty has to do is not replace it early, keep releasing the games and maybe release that switch plus or whatever revision by the end of this fiscal year. 

This year is the Switch's 5th year.
