Its doung much better in the west compared to 3ds. Closer to ps4 performance than 3ds. (Ps4 has an extra holiday advantage)

Ye, if we remove the extra holiday advantage by skipping ps4's first few months, they're very very close indeed.

PS4 - 14.8m (April 2014 to March 2015)

Switch - 14m Forecast (April 2017 to March 2018)

Though I don't think Switch will accelerate as much as ps4 in it's later years. 2018 should be very strong for switch I don't know about 2019 onwards though.

Just remember, three juggernaut franchises have yet to hit the Switch. Pokemon, Animal Crossing and Smash Bros. Animal Crossing and Smash for 2018, and probably Pokemon for 2019. We will probably be getting another Zelda and another Mario game too (Probably Odyssey 2 tbh) 

2019 will be pretty strong for the Switch I think, especially since third parties are all jumping in now, rather than backing out.
