The only reason the ps2 sold 156 million or whatever it is supposedly at is because the ps3 launch was a failure and sony decided to continue to push sales for ps2 so they can increase revenue because ps3 just wasnt cutting it. Once ps3 was able to stand on its own two feet, the ps2 was no longer needed. The switch on the other hand has sold 156 million because it was a good system with good games and people wanted it.

nah, ps2 kept selling because there was a market for it. People won't buy a console just because the manufacturer is extending the consoles life. 160 million was hit because they produced that many and it was purchased. 

Well yes to an extent they do still buy it because the manufacturer is extending its life. If the manufacturer pulls it, they cant buy it. If the manufacturer lowers the price of the console, they extend the life of the market. So youre wrong.
