DS? Unlikely. Thats still far off. It will need at least 2 years as it keeps slowing.
It takes genuine talent to see greatness in yourself despite your absence of genuine talent.

Completely different tech and nodes, Switch shortages have been much less severe than the other consoles, so I don't think PS5 improving their production would mean there is less shortage to Switch. |
It's different tech, yes, but chip production in general has been pretty tight for a long time now, for Switch as well.
At any rate, we'll have to wait and see. Switch is still in very high demand.

Shortages are very possibly in Japan, everywhere else it seems that it’s in stock every time.

Yes production is tight. But situation of PS improving doesn't indicate Switch also improving and vice-versa, they don't use same production lines.
Depending on factors it could even be the opposite, PS is improving because manufacturers replaced lines that were used by Switch with lines that are used by PS/Xbox.

Manufacturing tends to be contact based. They can't just drop a console for another unless the contract is renegotiated and I don't see Nintendo cutting their contract terms just so Sony can have their manufacturing line space.

I don't disagree with you, although there is also the possibility of Nintendo forecasting less shipment than current year on their contract. But again, my point was just that the situation improving for one wouldn't automatically mean it is improving for the other one as well.
