Could the Switch surpass the PS2 in sales?

About possible pricedrops for the Switch. We don't really know how much it cost for Nintendo to make a Switch. We only know that the profit margin on the Switch Lite is the highest and the OLED has the lowest profit margin. This is margin (%) and does not really say anything about profit in $.

Would Nintendo be willing to pricedrop the Switch to such extent that it would not make any profit anymore or even a loss at this stage of the Switch' life? I'm doubtful.

Offering a console at a loss is usually used to capture market share so to sell more games. But the Switch is so widespread already.

I'd love to see a pricedrop simply to see how far the Switch can go and become the #1 selling console, but not sure if Nintendo would care about that.

We know how much a Switch costs to make in 2017. And from there we can assume that margin has either grown or stayed stagnate.

After the release of their successor a price drop makes the most sense. Until then the Switch won't get a price drop.

But let's say that they give the Switch family a price drop before the successor, I would speculate the prices to be $169.99, $269.99, and $329.99 for the Lite, Switch, and OLED respectively.
