Switch Will Outsell PS4 because Europe is not enough
I don't know why people are still claiming PS4 will outsell Switch worldwide? The Switch is outselling the PS4 in Japan (I think it's at around 40-50% of PS4's LTD sales). It's selling faster than the PS4 in the US. Outselling Switch in Europe won't be enough to put PS4 over Switch. The PS4 would have to sell more than Switch there by a greater margin than Switch outsell PS4 in both Japan and the US. It's not going to happen. Look at the 360. It crushed the PS3 in the US but because it couldn't sell in Japan or Europe (outside of the UK), it was outsold by PS3 worldwide. This is the same scenario here. I don't know why people still think PS4 can beat Switch.

Actually, it's more than enough. When all is said and done PS4's total deficit in Japan compared to the Switch will be outstripped by PS4's surplus in Europe because at this point in time Switch is trailing behind the 3DS in Japan so it'll end up with lower lifetime sales in that region compared to it's predecessor while the PS4 has been consistently tracking ahead of it's predecessor in that region for a much longer time ... (PS4 will probably have a 15M+ unit advantage in Europe while the Switch will have a 10M+ unit advantage in Japan with PS4's advantage in the RotW at large yet to be factored in) 

Wii had stronger US sales than the 360 did at their respective start but did the Wii come out on top in the US ? 

Only wanted to point out Japan. Its under 3ds but only because switch is still

Supply restraint and it'll have a stronger year 2 than 3ds. Hell switch has a chance to do 6mil next year if supply and other factorscome in. Its not guaranteed though but don't look at switch sales lifetime like it'll be under 3ds because 3ds is winning. Don't forget 3ds peak year was year1
