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

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.

Switch is in front without any big releases, MK8D is the bestselling game in France this year, not even God of War could beat that year-old game While it's not yet whooping the PS4s ass, it shows that Sony can't beat the Switch even with many high-profile releases versus none of those on Switch.. Now imagine how it's doing with some actual high profile game releases like Super Mario Party, Pokémon or Smash.

Also, saturation? The PS3 sold almost one million more consoles, the Wii over 6.2M and the population has grown since then. It's still a ways off from being strongly hold back by saturation.

While the PS4 is selling more software, that's only due to the bigger install base. And still with almost 4x as many consoles sold, the PS4 still only managed to sell somewhat under 2x as much software as the Switch did so far this year.
