If the Switch 2 does end up releasing this year, then I think the Switch will end up short of the PS2. Switch sales has been at an expected decline the past few years. Unless Nintendo does a permanent price drop to milk out as many additional console sales as possible, which I honestly don't know why they haven't yet since they haven't sold the Switch at a loss since launch, then it may end up around 5-10 million short of the PS2 imo.
2024 so far has some nice remasters/remakes like Paper Mario TTYD, Another Code: Recollection, Luigi's Mansion 2, and Mario vs Donkey Kong, along with what looks to be a really fun yet smaller title with Princess Peach: Showtime, these aren't the kinds of games that will sell additional Switch's to a large enough audience to surpass the PS2.
So either Nintendo has some major tricks up their sleeve to get the Switch across the PS2 finish line, or they're saving all their major releases for a Switch 2 with maybe some cross-gen titles that will most likely cause the Switch to end up short. I'm leaning towards the latter. As soon as Nintendo announces the Switch 2 or whatever it will be called, Switch sales will immediately start to crater as everyone will start to look forward to the new console.
