How Much Do You Expect the Nintendo Switch to Sell Lifetime?

I was watching Pekin Express on M6, a French TV channel recently when I was away recently and the number of Switch ads shown was astounding. Nintendo are marketing the Switch like crazy in Europe and it’s still hasn’t caught the PS4’s sales yet. Not to mention that people are swiftly moving to digital on the PS4 so looking at retail charts is pointless these days.

But if you think the Switch will sell 100M or so, you’re free to do that.

So because Nintendo is marketing the Switch very much in France (where the Switch is whooping the PS4's ass!) you conclude that they are doing the same in every other European country. That's just as correct as deducing from Japanese ads how the 3 consoles will sell WW, hence why the data from France and all of Europe is very different.

From your link:
PS4 2018 (hardware): 332,399
Switch 2018 (hardware): 358,738

PS4 2018 (software): 3,305,588
Switch 2018 (software): 1,880,647

Is that really the definition of ass whooping though? Especially considering that PS4 is nearing market saturation with 4.5 mill sold.
