Could the Switch surpass the PS2 in sales?

Switch Lite to stay as the cheapest option to enter the Nintendo ecosystem, which of the OLED and V2 get dropped is a more interesting question.

We have to remember the people who purchased the OLED were prepared to pay extra to get something better than the V2, and potentially prepared to pay extra to get the best system Nintendo has to offer. So when the Switch 2 launches it is mostly from the Switch OLED pile (similar customers) we would expect the Switch 2 sales to come from. So if all 4 options were theoretically kept in the market, it might easily turn out that OLED (original) would slip behind V2.

But there is one other major point to set against that.. to keep suppliers on side, and their space in their manufacturing schedule Nintendo might want to keep the OLED manufacturing slots to themselves, rather than see them go to competing Steam machines, or another entrant in the handheld space. So then Nintendo might be best to keep the OLED model going until they can ready a Switch 2 OLED which they may wish to launch a year or two after the Switch 2 LCD.

My thoughts are they would ordinarily look to ditch the OLED, but keeping the manufacturing slot for themselves may be decisive, so wouldn't surprise me to see them ditch the V2 instead.
