It's gonna be very close. At this point it's pretty much guranteed that the gap between the DS and Switch in sales will be less than 10 Million. Even at Switch's worse case scenario I can't see it selling any less than 145 Million.
It could go either way, but if I were to make a prediction i'll say it'll fall just short of the DS & PS2, as my current prediction has the Switch selling anywhere between 151-152M. This is mainly because I don't expect Nintendo to price cut the Switch or release new models for it, I have a feeling Nintendo would rather just force people to buy a Switch 2 instead by making the Switch 1's price so close to the Switch 2's price to the point where most people will just go for the Switch 2. Especially with how inflation's been, Nintendo would almost have more of an excuse to raise the Switch's price at this point rather than lowering it, makes me doubtful we'll ever see an official price cut.
Outselling the DS's 154M is certainly more plausible, while the PS2's 159M might not sound like much more, for a console like the Switch in it's 7th year quickly declining that 5M gap is pretty huge relative to that.
