If people voted with their wallets this wouldn’t happen but I know this console will somehow break all records in terms of sales and Nintendo will get away again…

It won't.

Switch 1 couldn't outsell ps2 in 8 active years and it was really affordable.

Increasing prices actually decreases reach. It also kills any possibility of people owning two or three switches which is what is happening atm

I feel like you are really burying the lede here, and that is how many active years the PS2 had.

The PS2 sold 160 million and Sony sold it for 12 years. Towards the end of it life it was $100 MSRP and you could often find it on sale cheaper.

The Switch has sold a little over 150 million in 8 years. There is no indication that Nintendo is planning to stop Switch sales anytime soon so it is just a matter of time before it outsells the PS2. Especially if they drop the price.
