Especially with the rumours in mind that the Switch 2 could become a lot more expensive than its predecessor, I fully expect Nintendo to keep the Switch 1 around for quite some time as a budget option even after the release if the Switch 2. Which is why I don't think 170m+ should be a problem for the console, even if it might hurt initial Switch 2 sales a bit. If I am correct in my expectation that Nintendo understand the Switch family as a platform and doesn't hold onto the idea of generations all that much, I think that will be ok. Most important thing should be that Nintendo keeps making a profit with each and every console sold.
I might be wrong though. =P
