When will the Switch pass 160M?

sure, its 160 because they said that is what it is. but also we still have to guess, because again, this number/announcement is the most ambiguous it could have possibly been. we still don't know for sure exactly what the number is. 

i understand 160 is the number we have to go by, but that doesn't make it true that this is the amount that was actually sold to customers. we just have to go by this because of the race we are currently in. 

When you think about it, Switch may already be above the PS2 by sometime next year, when it's at ~158M but we won't know, and in reality Switch may be #1 while at the same time, everyone thinks it's still #2 because the number is 160M, while in reality the true sold to consumers units may for example be 158.3M of the PS2, and Switch may hit 158.5M sometime next year.
