No that's not all, but that's the biggest and best that it has.

Out of the games for PS4 you mentioned, do you honestly think ANY of them will come even close to Animal Crossing, let alone Pokemon? Those two games will sell more copies in Japan alone than Tekken will sell worldwide. Plus, Red Dead is multiplatform. 

I'm not saying it won't sell well, but after this year, PS4 will start to decline, while the Switch is just getting started.

Well to be fair there is no guarantee that Animal crossing will sell great on the Switch. So honesstly yeah quite a few of them will come close maybe even surpass animal crossing. It sold amazing on DS and 3DS. About the same and even less than those PS4 games on the Wii and even less on GC and Wii U. So why would you feel that none of those games could come close to it?

Pokemon is another monster all together and I agree that will explode in sales!  One thing is for certain though....after this year the PS4 will definitely decline but it is not for certain if the Switch will surge.....even though I sooooooooooooo hope that it does.

According to Nintendo: https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/finance/software/3ds.html New Leaf sold close to 11 million at the end of March (It has passed it by now) and is closing in on Wild World and could reach 12 million. If we're talking strictly PS4, I doubt the PS4 version of RDR2 will outsell AC: Switch by itself, combined with all the other verisons yes, but we're talking about PS4 specifically. God of War? Nope. Spiderman? Nope. Gran Turismo? It's got a chance. Gran Tursimo 4 sold 11.66 on the PS2 when it came out in the middle of the PS2's life cycle. I would expect Sport to sell around that number. Last of Us? Perhaps.
I'll admit, I went a little overboard when I said it wouldn't come close to Animal Crossing, but it's certainly not going to be a walk in the park.
And the Switch will see a jump. The system that it could be compared to is the 3DS, which jumped 1 million from launch year to peak year, but the Switch doesn't have any of the problems the 3DS had that is holding it back. (3D effect, overpricing, weak launch) and I don't think it will experience the software droughts that plagued the 3DS and Wii U. So I think the future looks very bright for the Switch.
