Nintendo would have to work actively against selling any more Switch consoles for it not to outsell DS and PS2. I don't see that happening. Another 20 million for the most successful console ever seems like a non-issue to me. But what the hell do I know. I'm no expert or something.
I also can see the Switch selling for quite some time from here on out. I could see Nintendo just keeping it around as the budget option when a new console comes around. Because why the hell not? The Switch is more than capable enough for smaller games and hardware power was never important for sales. Just look at the Game Boy. That thing sold like hot cakes in the late 90s, although the tech was a decade old and it didn't even have a coloured screen. Pokémon was all that it needed.
So if we're looking at a possible future with the Switch selling alongside a newer model, I can even see the Switch reaching 200 million or something. I don't see a need for Nintendo to just abolish the whole platform they built up in the last few years. Maye we can think of the next device as a sort of upgrade we saw from the Game Boy to the Game Boy Colour. It still plays basically the same games, but you would need the newer model for the newest titles. And since we count Game Boy and Game Boy Colour together, wouldn't we do the same with a possible Super Switch or something? Why not, all the way to 300 million!
I know, I know, I'm just daydreaming by now, but that is fun sometimes too. =P
