If Nintendo market it properly, and get the support it seems it is getting, it will definely kill it.I mean, kill not only the 3DS and Vita there, but also PS4.I mean, it has that potential.

No, thats not how it works. Even in a prefect scenario where the Switch sells 20 million+ units in Japan, the PS4 will still do fairly well for 2 big reasons: 1. It will have full Japanese support, as developers cannot make it in the west without the PS4 (lets be honest, anyone thinking that the Switch is a threat for the PS4 is simply put nuts) 2. Its pretty much confirmed that the Switch is weaker than the PS4, so software support will be differentiated.

Worldwide?Sure.Japan?Not at all.I mean, 3DS is far more popular there than PS4.Hell, Vita total sales are still higher there than the PS4.

I dont mean that PS4 sales will fall off a cliff.Of course it wont.But if you compare Switch and PS4 in Japan, Switch has the potential, and its just the potential, of outselling week-by-week sales of the PS4 and eventually sell so much more than the PS4.I mean, it potentially appeals to handheld and console fans, and as a handheld, it is impressive.So 25+ million is really possible there, since Vita owners and 3DS owners could jump to it.
