I think the Switch will perform better in the first years but life time sales PS4 will end up on top, just a hunch though (since its still too early to predict something like that).

I'm going to agree. Sony consoles are always known for their legs. I see Switch doing good/great for about 3 years or so, at which point it will have been $199 for at least a year, and then we'll start to see yearly drops. I think in the end, it will end up around the 3DS, probably a little higher. Considering how well the PS4 is doing, and it's still $299, I think it's going to pass 115M, and possibly hit 125M, maybe more.  I mean if they can get it to $149-$169, it'll sell well after the PS5 launches. A $249-$299 Pro will definitely help those legs, too. 

Thats because Nintendo usually support their consoles for around 4 years while Sony keep supporting console until new is out on market (I mean Last of US was released less than 6 months before PS4 was launched). Saying that, Nintendo said they want that Switch has longer life span than typical 5-6 years, so we talking about 7-8 years at least, and with point that Switch is curently selling better than 3DS in same time period whitout need for big price cut, Switch will probably sell more than 3DS easily.
