PS4 life time sales = 90 million, Switch = 110 million, XBone = 45 million. Female gamers are the main factor in why I think the Switch will sell the most, they haven't been catered to properly since the days of the Wii/DS, if nintendo can make more lifestyle games like Nintendogs and Brain training, they can match my prediction.

You say female gamers but with the games you've listed, you seem to actually be speaking about casual gamers (granted, many, if not most of these are female). The thing is though: this market is gone. Nintendo's early focus for both the 3DS and Wii U was on this market and it didn't work. Mobile gaming is here now and it isn't going away. Sony and Microsoft's focus on young male 'gamers' has proven to be correct as this market isn't shrinking (I think you've low-balled their sales btw, PS4=120 mil and XB1=60 mil seem more realistic) and so they continue to do well. Switch can succeed, but it won't be because of casuals or females, it'll be because of the appeal of franchises like Pokemon, Mario, Zelda, and Monster Hunter.

I disagree, that market is still there, they just have to be catered to. Nintendo focused on core gamers early on, albeit half heartedly. There was little emphasis on original life style games, like Wii fit and brain training. They didn't put as much money into marketing the Wii U as they did the Wii, and the marketing they had was confusing, people thought it was just an add on for the Wii. Mobile gaming doesn't offer casual gamers party experiences like Splatoon, Mario Kart, 1-2 Switch and Smash Bros.
