If Nintendo hits their new 12,5 million forecast for hardware sales this fiscal year, if then Switch sees a huge sales decline of 50 % next fiscal year to around 6 million Switch sales, the Switch will be very close to overtaking PS2 160 million numbers at the end of the next fiscal year, it would then only need to sell like 2-3 million more Switch units to become the best selling console ever. Sounds very doable.
I think the fact that Switch 2 seems to be bound for a late 2025 release date is what sealed the fate of PS2 being the best selling system ever, because the Switch will have almost 1 year more as the only Nintendo console on the market, which will be enough to see lifetime sales of Switch surpass PS2.
