    Let’s see how many units are sold during holiday season. Also if the new Nintendo console gets out, then the old Switch will get (hopefully) a discount and it sells a lot more. Keep in mind the PS2 and DS sold even after their successor came out. Wikipedia lists the numbers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_game_consoles

    PlayStation 2       Home        Sony        2000    >155 million
Nintendo DS         Handheld    Nintendo    2004    154.02 million
Nintendo Switch #   Hybrid      Nintendo    2017    143.42 million

    And just for fun, people call the Xbox One a failure, but look and compare to some legendary consoles:

    Xbox One            Home    Microsoft   2013    ~58 million
Super Nintendo      Home    Nintendo    1990    49.1 million
Nintendo 64         Home    Nintendo    1996    32.93 million
Nintendo GameCube   Home    Nintendo    2001    21.74 million
