Just looked it up, Switch already beat the GameCube in Japan.
N64, Saturn and Vita are up next and will be overtaken soon. (500-800k ahead so not much)
PS4 is a bit further but Switch will also get there pretty soon. I think Switch could overtake the PS3 before the PS4.

Much of this success can be attributed to Splatoon 2. It has 52% attach rate in Japan. Good move by Nintendo.

Nintendo better think of a Splatoon spinoff to capitalize on this, they have inked gold here. This is the game that's going to sell their online service in Japan.
