It is too early to say. But I will go with the PS4 for now.  I think the PS4 in the end will sell around 105-110m.  And although there is a chance for the Switch to reach that number. I am still skeptical about it.

And I have two main reasons for my skepticism and those are:

1) The ever growing mobile market.  We all have seen the shrinkage of the handheld market (It went from 241m units in gen 7th to less than 100m in gen 8th).  Now, it is possible that the Switch hybrid nature might be able to revert this shrinkage process, but that remains to be seen.

And 2) 4K and VR.  In around four years these two will be a lot more mainstream, which will push the need for power even more.  And by that time we will already have PS5 and X2 to fulfill that need.

So, I think in 4 years the Switch might find itself in the same place as the 3DS is right now.  Which is not bad, all things considered.  But not enough to push it above the 100m.
