Most recent sales data shows 150.86 million switch units sold as of 2/4/2025

The switch released 3/3/2017 (2895 days ago)

On average the switch sold 52,111 units a day

The PS2 sold >160 million units, making a deficit of 9.14 million units

If the lifetime sales average holds up/is linear, we would expect that date to be reached in 175 days, or in other words about 6 months

Switch 2's Nintendo Direct is less than 2 months away

The Switch released 4.5 months after its announcement trailer

Realistically the Switch may have 6 months left - but it seems unlikely people will continue to buy the Switch when the Switch 2 release is imminent

Only time will tell

Ha, the 2000's were some of the best years of my life, and the PS2 was there for all of it. It was a unique era filled with memorable games, from Kingdom Hearts to Devil May Cry. Lots of creativity from the industry. I agree, the internet was definitely simpler in the pre-social media, pre-smartphone landscape.
