That PS2 number might be a bit out of reach.

We'll see. Considering they just had to raise shipments by 500k, there's also the possibility that sales may be strong enough this quarter to where they end up raising them again. And there's also moves Nintendo can make to maintain sales like price cuts, hardware revisions, and a strong post-NS2-launch lineup of games to keep consumers interested. And depending on the launch price of Switch 2, and if they DO go through w/ price cuts and revisions to bring down Switch 1's entry price, that can keep people invested.

At this point, I think it's legit 50/50 whether or not the Switch becomes the best selling system of all-time.

It basically continues to rely on what Nintendo's strategy is with the Switch 2 release. As has been the case for the past couple of years now, whether they sell more than the PS2 entirely depends on the decisions Nintendo make in the upcoming months. Switch 2 launch date? Switch 1 price cut? Switch 1 software support?

I continue to expect them to basically put all their chips on moving people to Switch 2 as fast as possible but we will see what they do.
