Do you think the Switch will surpass the ps2 ever, will the sales slow down when the Switch 2 /drake comes out? I think it could maybe mario wonder will push the units for it to happen.
"But it's a home console and a handheld" is going to become the new "but it's a home console and a DVD player" if Switch ends up #1.Maybe. But it's worth remembering that a lot of people bought the PS2 because it was a DVD Player. The switch is relatively more impressive in it's sales.
Just want to say that the figure is actually 125.62 million units, not 122.5 million units.Do you think the Switch will surpass the ps2 ever, will the sales slow down when the Switch 2 /drake comes out? I think it could maybe mario wonder will push the units for it to happen.
It has very little to do with a drop in price and everything to do with when the successor launches.Only with a massive price drop.
They didn't care enough to make DS achieve it.If Nintendo thinks that's an important milestone and are set to achieve it, I'm sure they will.
It was a different world back then. Nintendo’s time to take the throne is now.They didn't care enough to make DS achieve it.

Sad how?I didn't know the PS4 reached 117m. That's sad.
With the important caveat that it depends on the actual hardware, I think the relative sales of the different Switch SKUs are an indicator that customers will forgo the cheapest console when there's better hardware available. Thus far, about 21m Lites have been sold in 34 months (about 5.5m per year) compared to 15m SWOLEDs in 24 months (7.5m per year) and the OG's 85m in 76 months (14m per year).I'm certain the sales won't fall of a cliff as soon as The Succ comes since I expect it to be at least 100$ more expansive than base models.
Switch being a budget model(maybe OLED dropping to 299,99, Lite to 149,99 and OG always bundled with a game?) it'll still be a beast IMO.
I expect cross gen releases for about 2 years or so after Switch 2 comes(come on even 3DS got it, and its games wouldn't be playable on Switch).
Switch will be at around 140M by March 2024, and we don't know when Switch 2 will come. It can be holiday 2024, which will make Switch have 6-8 more months to sell before it comes. And after it comes it'll probably be on shortages like Switch was in 2017/18 so a lot of people will get OG instead, mainly if most of the launch window games are cross gen(Pokémon is almost surely cross gen).
Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Tears of the Kingdom will keep moving consoles in 2024 and I think they can get DLC coming alongside their Drake patches.
So my answer is: unless Drake is early 2024 and OG Switch doesn't get any price cuts, yes, it's gonna surpass PS2.
Technically, that's true."But it's a home console and a handheld" is going to become the new "but it's a home console and a DVD player" if Switch ends up #1.
Every console in the image of OP's post achieved insane success regardless of what they could physically do.
Nintendo only aims to be successful and generate as much profit and good will as possible. They don't care about this record at all which is why they won't attempt it. If the Switch passes 160 million it will only be circumstantial and not in any way planned.I always used to say that if the successor doesn't release until 2025, then Switch probably will pass PS2. That being said, I strongly believe now that the successor will release in 2024. I think it will then be impossible for Switch to surpass PS2 (or DS for that matter). I could see Switch squeaking past 150m though. Still impressive for it to come within striking distance considering how long the PS2 was on the market and how cheap the DS was.
