Does the Switch have another 60-70m sales left in it....  PS4 is going over 130m imo.
Its a tough question, it *might* get close.

Switch has had more than 40 months now on the market.
Sales are usually best in the early half of nintendo life cycles.
So even if it has another 40 months of life in it, it might strugle to hit another 60m unit sales.

Ontop of that Nintendo themselves have been talking about a Switch 2, resently.
I know its still a few years out probably...

However I suspect Switch will be replaced before it has a chance to reach PS4 sales numbers.

The Switch is currently in its fourth year on the market and sales are higher than ever. So how is this different to PS4 sales? 

Yes, Nintendo have talked about Switch 2 recently. They specifically, once again, reiterated that the Switch 2 is still a far way off and that the Switch will have a longer than normal lifecycle. 

With the exception of the PS3, playstations usually have long legs... ei they keep selling at steady paces for along time, even after next gen starts.
With Nintendo often when a new gen starts, its just a abrubt halting, ei sales drop more drastically (when a new gen starts).

Yes Switch 2 is probably 2+ years away.
