Closer than i thought, but i dont think so. Not if the successor releases within the next few years, AND has proper BC support...but i could be wrong.

Didn't the DS keep selling after release of it's successor?

Why does that list count Gameboy and Gameboy Colour as one?

Also I don't see why it would suddenly sell 30 million additional units.

Also, also, if PS3 outsold Xbox 360 why do people say Microsoft beat Sony in that generation?

Thats the one thing that has me doubting it. I dont know, and i cant find that info.

It probably still sold, though by how much, is the important factor. I guess that would also depend on cost. If the Switch 2 releases at a similar price to the OLED, and the main switch line drastically drops in price, its certainly possible..

Im guessing they see the color as more of a mid-gen refresh, ala the PS4 Pro/Xbox One X/New 3ds kinda thing.

Doubtful, especially if any of the rumors of a switch 2 reveal next year are accurate.

If it ends up being a reveal for another upgraded switch model, then maybe.

It might. It'll be at 130 million units sold by the end of the year, and it needs 15 mil more to surpass PS2

I think you meant 140, right? The next quarterly numbers (Jul-Sep 2023) release tomorrow, and if they and the holiday sales are in line with last year, Switch will be right around 140 by the start of 2024. Looking a little further, it should be in the mid-to-high 140s by the launch of Nintendo's next console, assuming that happens in Holiday 2024. Whether Nintendo will support Switch enough to eke out the remaining ~10 million sales is anyone's guess.
