A year 6 total of over 20 million would be insane. What other systems have ever done this? I assume DS, but anything else?

Maybe no.

However no other console has also done what PS2 has done. For a few years after it's successor's launch (2006) PS2 has steep declines in yearly sales as well as sales (or shipments rather) well above 10M (14 and 13M for the years 2007 and 2008) when it's successor was already released and the gen was in full swing. Even in 2009 and after PS2 was selling 8, 7 and 6M respectively. In it's 7th and 8th year PS2 sells 14 and 13M and in it's 9th and 10th years PS2 did 8 and 7M. Even in it's last years PS2 has been doing 4 and 2M units per year which now consoles do in their second year after it's succesor or third at best. PS2 did around 2M the year before it's successor's successor launched.

So when we talk about mountains Switch has a lot more to catch and conquer.

That doesn't really have any bearing on what I said though.

PS2's accomplishments do not take away from what other systems like the Switch have achieved or will achieve. 

Over 20 million in a system's 6th year would be a phenomenal victory for any system regardless.
