Will Switch outsell DS? PS2? Or neither?

seeing you two talking about whether "Switch pro" should count in the final sales of the "basic switch" or not.
My contribution penny. IMHO, The answer is very simple:

Case 1: "Switch Pro" is just a hardware upgrade, it should count, like Ps4pro and 1X. it's just a switch with better graphics / performance.

Case 2: "Switch Pro" has exclusive games, these games are only "Switch pro" and do not work in the "classic". This is new generation, hardware that does something that the old is absolutely unable to do. it simply shouldn't count in sales, here we have "Switch 1" and new generation "switch 2" that must be counted separately.

New 3DS had exclusive games though. I believe the generational leap happens when the core of the system changes. If the joycons are basically the same and the switch pro controller is the same and most of the game are the same and the core design is the same, then it's the same gen. People arguing it isn't are being disingenuous to try to downplay switch before the revision for whatever reason. The main thing is what Nintendo says it is and treats it as. If they treat it as the same gen, it's the same gen. Of in their reports, they add the pro into the total sales, that answers all the questions.
