I don't believe that Nintendo doesn't care about passing the PS2.
They absolutely do.
I'm sure they're not going to actively focus or push for it and they're just sticking to their plan for Switch 2. And if it doesn't happen, oh well, it doesn't happen. But it's in the back of their minds. And it's something they think about and want to see happen. Especially for some of the OGs like Miyamoto and Tezuka who have been there since the NES days and experienced the ups and downs and all arounds (Jun Senoue guitar riff).
It's a pride thing. Even though we do our best to not show it, they're like buttholes - Everyone has it.
