lmao, now that's just delusion, even more so than what the OP is talking about (Not calling the OP delusional, just people that think the Switch will fail, though it depends on what you think is a failure, it will 100% sell more than the Wii U but I'm not sure it'll outsell the 3DS)

There is no way in hell that the Swtich will outsell the PS4, I doubt it'll outsell the PS3.

To be fair we still dont know true potential of Switch because it's still heavily supply constrained and continue to selling great despite that. I dont say it outsell PS4, it will be very hard because PS4 will be second best selling gaming hardware ever after PS2 and DS, but chance always exist. I dont think anybody would be surprised if Switch at end outsold PS3.

Switch outselling PS4 is a delusion. 3DS sales have demonstrated that Pokemon clearly isn't enough when the competition has the likes of GTA, FIFA and COD which counter it. Also, I digress that conceptually, the Switch being a handheld ultimately grants success as it is in the bloodline of those. A lot of the success of the Game Boy, DS and eventually the 3DS came from their affordability. The Switch isn't benefiting from that factor, so we'll have to see how it holds on its own.

-Switch is currently selling better than 3DS in same time period despite fact that costs $300 and that games are $60.

-Switch in same time is aiming home console owners not just handheld owners like GB, DS and 3DS.

-Switch has Splatoon, new 3D Zelda and it will have other home console games, games that  GB, DS and 3DS didnt had, while in same time Switch will have handheld IPs (Pokemon, Animal Crossing...).

-Wii didn't had GTA, but it did had Fifa and CoD, Fifa is coming on Switch, and eventually CoD will also come same like some other 3rd party games buy time.

-Switch will have multiple revisions, buy time it will have much more affordable price point, especially when most likely Nintendo release Switch Mini/Pocket just for handheld play.

 

I dont say that Switch will outsell PS4 but with Switch people need to stay open mined, we still dont know true potential of Switch because it's still heavily supply constrained and continue to selling great despite that, so there is some chance that maybe could outsell even PS4 at end even that would be very hard beacuse PS4 is on path to be second 3. best selling gaming hardware ever after PS2 and DS.

WiiU had plenty more 3rd party support than switch is having at the moment concerned to "BiG" games:

 

2 Batman arkham games, 2 Assassins Creed Games, FIFA 13, splinter cell blacklist, tekken tag tournaments 2, black ops II, darksiders 1 and 2, Mass effect 3, need for speed most wanted, amazing Spider-Man 1 and 2, call of duty ghost, deus ex human revolution, Injustice: Gods among us, Madden NFL 13, sniper elite V2, watch dogs and a few more.

any big 3rd party games announced at the moment for switch??
