To the OP, they clearly have no interest in the record. They've made no effort whatsoever to try to get Switch extra sales. If Nintendo actually had a goal for Switch to beat the PS2 they would've dropped the price a couple years ago when sales started to fall off, and also dropped the price of games to make it more enticing. Two things they could've easily done and yet they chose to never change the price (until raising it for the tariffs in the US). They acted completely opposite of the idea of trying to get it to sell a few million extra units. I think execs don't care at all about these sorts of competitions, that's just a certain segment of gamers that like to talk about console wars and records and stuff. PS2 was selling a $99 to get to it's number, Nintendo could have easily dropped Switch to like $150/$200/$250 still be in profit and gotten a lot of impulse purchases, but they didn't because breaking PS2 record isn't on their minds.
