Could the Switch surpass the PS2 in sales?

My expectation is that the Lite will be reduced to 1 color (and a small $20 price cut), the LCD model will run out of production in fall to make space for the new Switch 2 and the OLED will drop in price to match the old base model in return.

This seems like the logical solution, maybe two colour variants for the Light model will remain, one for boys and one for girls. I've noticed that in Japan, the Light model has started to sell better than the LCD model whereas in the West the LCD model still outsells the Light. From a sales perspective it wouldn't make sense to kill off the LCD model, however, bringing the OLED model down to the same price as the LCD model, it will be a no brainer that the LCD model will be obsolete. The problem is that the OLED model is still kind of expensive to produce for Nintendo, so I'm not sure if they really can bring down the price that much already in 2024.

Another solution to save shelf space is to offer certain colour variants only online via Nintendo store or exlusive to Amazon.

I wasn't talking about shelf space, but about production capacity, as the successor to the Switch will most probably come from the same production lines as the current Switch. Having 3 different models simply takes to much space on the production lines, so (at least) one has to go, and the LCD model would be the logical choice to do so imho.
