The PS4 has sold far above what I expected, and it keeps on selling.
I do not think the switch will be able to catch up. It also sells extremely well I just don't think that there is enough market for it to reach 130 mil.

When it comes to Nintendos best sellers the DS and the Gameboy, both of them got revisions of the console that had an upgrade making owners of the first released models dubble dip. And in the case of the game boy, it had a 12 years life span.
I actually bought 4 versions of the DS, one original, one lite that just had a far superior design and screen, another DS lite when my first one got to hackneyed, and a third DS lite, since it was cheap and I wanted a backup if the one I use would stop working. The last one is still unopened in its box.

I just cannot see any upgrade to the switch that will get me to buy another one. Upscaling to 4K in docked mode sure could be nice and there is room for a larger screen while keeping the size of it the same. But upgrades like that will not make my rebuy the thing.
My guesstimate is that the switch will land in the 120 mil range. Still very good, but topping the PS4, i think not.
