Honestly this might sound crazy, but what if 15-20 or so years in the future Nintendo releases a Switch 1 mini as a limited time release that can play all the retro Switch 1 games, and count it towards its total sales numbers to outsell PS2.

Lol that could technically be possible. Only thing is that it would likely need to play actual cartridges of Switch 1 to actually be considered the same console or family of systems. Cause the NES & SNES mini consoles weren't counted in the SNES & NES's total. If they were SNES would be at around 54 Million sold since the mini sold around 5 million.

Assuming this current Switch 1 ends at around 158 Million, all the Switch 1 mini would need to do is sell 2 million to outsell PS2, which would certainly be do-able.

These are crazy reaches we're getting at right now but with the chances of the current Switch 1 looking so grim when it comes to getting to 160M we need to bring up any possibility at this point lol to give some hope to that idea.

I could see Nintendo maybe doing a Switch 1 mini maybe 30 years in future, but I highly doubt it'll have to option to play Switch 1 cartridges, especially now since an all digital future is clearly coming sooner rather than later. So a Switch 1 mini likely wouldn't be considered as the same console as the current Switch 1 to add those sales together.

youre not supposed to talk about that thing you just talked about.
