The Switch hitting 100m has everything to do with how long Nintendo supports it. If we have a Switch 2 around the launch of the PS5 and Whatever-the-fuck-Xbox-is-next, I don't think it will have enough time.

So in your world a PS5 will release at latest 2020 so that will mean the Switch 2 will release  around the same time. This will give the Switch a 3-4 lifespan at the biggest. The only way I see that happening is if Nintendo is stupid. There would be no advantage of releasing at such a time. If the PS5 releases in 2019 then this is even more absurd.

Considering Switch rarely if ever outsells the ps4 despite launching just 8 months ago iand having its heaviest hitters bar pokemon released for the system already i'd say PS4 outsells the switch by about 2:1 (Switch 70-80m, PS4 140-160m)

oh boy. Ok try to separate the predictions you think will happen from predictions you want to happen. Your predictions will be a lot more accurate that way.

Lol i could give a fuck about which outsells which, all i know is ps4 outsells the switch by a lot nearly every week. I'd bet money that my prediction will be way closer to reality than whatever yours is.

Rarely? ... It's outsold the PS4 almost every month in NPD and Japan. Like, what? How is that rarely?

Also, it's so weird to me that people think a first year console with huge supply issues up until recently should be outselling a console in it's best year. Why do so many people think new consoles automatically outsell old ones, or that it's expected for new consoles to do so? 

For christ's sakes, there are some people in this thread who have gone as far as to say that the Switch will decrease from now on because it's "biggest exclusives" have already released. Really? Consoles don't work like that. Odyssey isn't the Switch's biggest exclusive either, neither is Zelda. 

Say PS4 will outsell Switch all ya want, I voted that in the pole. But please people, have some common sense.

Yes, the Switch rarely outsells the PS4. It destroys PS4 in Japan, thats correct. It has beaten PS4 in NPD by very small margins a few times this year yes. Thing is, I wasn't talking about those specific countries, you're responding to me as if I did. Why is that? What I said was correct in every conceivable way. Switch rarely outsells PS4, if ever. 

The thing about losing to Ps4 in its best year is that we are now in year 4 of a continual incline in sales. The PS4 still hasn't peaked, it has every chance to sell better than it has this year in 2018.

By the way it is fucking hilarious that Nintendo fans think Switch will hit 100 million lol, i mean it took years of constant, in your face success for most Nintendo/Xbox fans to accept that PS4 will pass 100 million easily, yet 8 months in people think its locked that Switch will get there AND outsell the PS4 despite the Ps4 continuing to sell not just more, but A LOT more. Shows how warped their realities are.

By the way the recent Nintendo consoles have peaked in year 2 or 1 

Wii (2006) - peaked in 2008

Wii U (2012) - peaked in 2013

3DS (2011) - peaked in 2013

DS is actually the only one that didn't and I'm on mobile and I don't feel like going to check but I believe it peaked in 2007, if not 2008
