PS2 was what made Playstation the synonym of gaming, Nintendo must ty everything switch to outsell it.

Only way I see it happening is if the rising costs of RAM and other components + tariffs force Nintendo to raise the price of Switch 2 to the point where it’s too expensive to appeal to the casual market and thus it’s not able to reach that next rung/level of sales, so they keep Switch 1 around that much longer out of necessity. So that they can still have an entry level system that appeals to the newer casual market and younger parents looking for a system to buy for their kids and thus maintain their revenue and profit forecasts (to a degree) despite Switch 2’s momentum slowing down.

Basically a similar reason why the PS2 stuck around for so long because the PS3 got off to such a slow start due to its absurd price tag ($600 in 2006 - Yikes.)
