I already addressed this, PS3/360 had slow starts and late peaks while PS4/XBO had stronger starts and earlier peaks. If Switch is the cause than we should have seen PS4/XBO display large YoY drops in 2017/2018 but they didnt.

As for your regional breakdown, Japan is a market in decline, it has little to do with Switch taking away from the others.

7th gen

PS3+360+Wii-~25 million

DS+PSP-~53 million

8th gen

PS4+XBO+Wii U-~12 million

3DS+Vita-~31 million

Saying that Switch is the cause of PS4 decline is ignoring so many different things.

Now for Europe & RotW, places like Eastern Europe, Latin America, Middle East, Southeast Asia, etc are what we call "emerging/developing markets" which means they have growing economies and growing consumer populations.

And like i said in my previous post, if PS4+XBO had stronger starts, i suppose in Europe too, then why PS4 sales in Europe were 1M better in 2017 and 2018 than in 2015 and 2016?? Why PS4 peaked later in Europe, already the biggest and most established region of dominion for Playstation brand??? Why in USA did not happened the same?
