PS4 VS Switch lifetime sales, which console will sell the most?

Several consoles in the past have kept selling significantly even after their successor has been released.  So even if Nintendo moronically announces a new system next year (beyond unlikely), then that will not be enough to kill Switch's momentum.  They have far too many games releasing on the Switch for momentum to "drop off a cliff".

And several oither consoles in the past didn't keep their momentum despite "having far too many games releasing on them". Where was the momentum for PS3, Xbox360, Wii, DS, 3DS, PS4 after the announcement or launch of their successors? 

Most of the consoles you listed lost their momentum before their successor was announced.  

You've confused the cart and the horse.  A loss of momentum leads to a successor getting announced, and not the other way around.
