After a better than expected holiday quarter from Nintendo and now reliable sources pointing towards a 2025 release rather than a 2024 release, I've now raised my Switch sales forecast once again from 152 Million sold to 155 Million sold, so now I expect the Switch to outsell the DS and come very close to the PS2, assuming we take the 159M figure of the PS2 that's been estimated, it'll be nice to maybe hear from Sony the confirmed final sales total of the PS2 so the speculation on whether or not the Switch outsold it would stop, but I feel like Sony would only do this if they're confident that the Switch didn't/won't surpass it, cause Sony wouldn't gain anything by admitting your console is officially 2nd all time.

However, I really wouldn't be surprised if Switch sell more than my expected 155M figure, I have a feeling that im being a bit conservative with this forecast, but I'm expecting a big sales drop off once Switch 2 releases because I don't expect Nintendo to give any price drops for the Switch since the market seems already oversaturated with 140M Sold to the point where a price cut wouldn't increase sales by a ton when everyone already owns a Switch, I feel like the price between Switch & Switch 2 will be so close to the point where most people will just get a Switch 2 especially if Switch 2 has backwards compatibilty. But I think if Switch gets even one small price cut it'll be a done deal when it comes to outselling the PS2, or even one new model that isn't even that significant I believe will put it over the top.
