Without beating a dead horse, I think its safe to say that the Switch will not obtain PS4 sales. The reason is because I seriously don't think Switch can hold on for six years like a PlayStation can. The caveat will be if the Switch can do a mid gen refresh a la Pro. Even then, its going to be one heck of a task for Switch to catch up. I still have imposed a hard limit of 65 million for Switch and about 115 million for the PS4.

Lol, so Switch will sell less than the 3DS even though it's been outpacing it since the beginning? This is also factoring in 3DS had a hard drop in year 3-4. What's going to make Switch have such an emphatic drop where its going to hault enough to sell less than the 3DS?? 

To give you an idea of what I did, I basically took the 3DS and compensated for price difference.  I know that it is shocking for it to be near 50% of sales, but in all reality, I do expect a portable PS5 and more realistically, I don't see how a hybrid console of the Switch's stature can compete with a PS5.  I think that Nintendo will want to recapture 3rd parties and I think that they are going to need something more powerful. I expect Nintendo to release a new console cabable of playing switch games but much more powerful.  Like Wii to Wii U or DS to 3DS.
