There's nothing dubious about my claim at all. It is a fact. I am using the only metric that actually matters at the end: profits. 

Now you can make other comparisons too if you like. For example: How much did the top 20 Ps2 games sell compared to Switch's top 20? How many of those top 20 were evergreen tittles that kept selling for years on end? How many of those were first party? (which actually shows the strength of the platform software-wise) What is the fastest selling console between the 2? so on and so forth. Saying that the PS2 is the most successful console ever is the actual dubious claim. 

you can cherry pick what you want but the fact is the subject matter in this thread is about sales the title is the road to 160 million and at the end of the day that title is still held by PS2 and sales  when you google most successful console  you get lists of best selling consoles and their corresponding software sales,because historically they are the most popular metrics used the PS4 made more profit for Sony than the PS2 but it isn't seen as the most successful Playstation console.

The ps2 is the most successful in terms of sales, switch is probably the most successful in terms of profitability, Both are true. Stop starting an argument for no reason. There is not a singular measurement for success.

While this thread is about sales he was just pointing out that despite not passing the ps2/ds in terms of sales that it is likely already more successful in terms of profitability. There is nothing wrong with pointing this out.
