If Nintendo can hit its forecast, or come close to hitting it, shipment figures for the Switch will be above the DS. Though, sell-through will lag behind by a couple of months. That pretty much guarantees the Switch will outsell the PS2 as it will only need 5M-6M to surpass 160M lifetime. Nintendo would have to pretty much completely kill off Switch production as soon as the successor launches.
