Nah, Switch is never gonna catch up to the PS4. It might have higher peaks but Nintendo consoles don't have anywhere near as long legs as PlayStation consoles. Personally I don't think the Switch is gonna hit the 100m mark (though I definitely wouldn't rule it out), whereas PS4 is going to go well above it.

I mostly agree here. However, I am happy to see Nintendo back on the map. This was once my go-to company for consoles, so see them strive with PlayStation is a huge deal!

The conclusion you guys come to seems the most likely. Switch is already at $299, which I think will hurt its legs in the long run as it will have less room to drop and therefore sustain momentum, and also the PS5 and Xbox 8K X - 3 are likely going to come out in 2 or 3 years which could also impact its trajectory a slight bit, but as a happy ps4 and Switch owner, I don't see why Nintendo doing well is a bad thing in any way. The two companies seem to cater to slightly different audiences (Ninty has more pull with family gamers, Sony with gamers in my age range) and one doing well doesn't influence the other too much (except in Japan, where there clearly is only still room for portables to perform exceptionally well). I typically prefer Sony's games, but there's plenty of room for Nintendo as an equal. Hell, MS can join too, if they ever get their exclusives situation sorted out.
