It needs a bit over 6.5 million to surpass the DS in Japan. At the end of this year that gap will likely be down to around 5 million. If Nintendo supports the Switch through 2023 and the Switch successor doesn't launch until 2024 or later it should end up ahead. 

I think the Switch successor will release in 2024.

Worst case scenario, we start to see rumors for it late 2023 and people suddenly stop purchasing the Switch, waiting for the successor. But that may not happen at all.

I agree. March 2024, 7 years after the release of the Switch, is the earliest I see a Switch successor launching.
