The real question is: 

Could the Switch beat the PS4 lifetime?

No, Europe will stop that from happening

The way I see it Playstation has practically no penetration in Japan. Switch will probably end up selling at least 20 mil in Japan

I think the PS4 and Switch could end up having nearly the exact sales in America, but then again the fact that Switch has consistently beaten PS4 in NPD's despite this being Switch's first year and PS4's best year thus far seems to be proving wrong my own prediction .... 

I think in Europe it will do 20 mil

I think the biggest question overall is if the North American lead and the Japanese lead will be enough to hold the Switch as valuable competition. The lead in America could be anywhere from 4-7 mil, and the lead in Japan will be at least 9 mil. 

So by Metric that would be 85 mil. But that's me not even thinking about how much a possible revision could do. I think the key with the Switch would be to make a portable version for Japan and getting the price lower. 

Of course, the Switch is selling faster than every Nintendo console ever except the Wii in America, I don't know about Europe or Japan .. but that does mean that theoretically with enough revisions it could get there.
