Switch is doing very well, is it doing as well as some people would believe (killing the PS4)... nah. Its doing a good set of sales, which is putting it on par with PS4, but PS4 in its 4/5th year is still doing the business.

I think after the wii-u, bit like what happened with the PS3 and the XB1, people always want their console of choice to make a comeback, but that sometimes clouds the comments section into saying all others are destroyed.

1. Switch is certainly got a bright and steady future ahead of it. Is it destroying anything, not really. Should be one of the better selling Nintendo products.
2. PS4 - steady as she goes, selling more in stores than on amazon. Expect it to reach 80-100m with no trouble. They will use the Pro as the PS4 replacement in a couple of years to keep the PS4 brand going, even if there is a PS5 on the horizon.
3. XB1X - Will have a good start, but will drop off because of the usual, games. Many XB1s users will move across over time, and I think it will drag back a few old school xbox users who begrudgingly moved over to PS4 because of the power difference. But ultimately as always they will fail to give the impression they actually care about their product with the thing that matters, games. Will have a good Christmas as always, but will ultimately struggle as PS4 has yet another year of amazing games coming out. If MS has anything to counter it, don't expect it till late 2018.

Please accept that anything Madword says from now on also represents what I think. 

Hahah :D
