I'm so sorry to disappoint you, but Switch will never have a user base of 70M when PS5 or Next XBox will be released, I think you should revise your calculations; and even if this will MAGICALLY happen, it won't affect PS5 and Next XBox, 'cause both will be True Next Gen Home Consoles capable of massive AAA 3rd Party titles, while Switch or any Switch revision is just a portable console which can be connected to a TV. Then you say :""The technological leap for Microsoft from Xbox One to Xbox 4 is going to be minimal. I mean they are literally talking about ray tracing as the only improvement but still only offering 4k 30fps"" I have no idea which is the source where you are collecting your informations, but according to MS, XBox Anaconda will be an insane piece of Hardware, even much more powerful than X1X. People who want a Next Gen Home Console will buy XBox or Playstation, people who prefer a portable which can be attached to a TV, will go with Switch, easy as that. It doesn't matter which will be the user Base of Switch when PS5 and Next XBox will come out; if you wanna play TLOU Part2 in full glory, or GTAVI, or Forza Horizon5, the Next Halo at native 4K/30-60 fps, the next GOW, COD, RDR3, and all the best massive AAA 3rd party games on Consoles, you have only 2 options, which is Sony or Microsoft. No Switch revision will ever allow you to play the best 3rd party game experience; you will have the small-midium sized games, and even downgraded, and this will get worse year after year. With this, I'm not saying that Switch is not offering its very unique and interesting game experience; I'm just saying that Nintendo has diverted to another "territory", and will barely affect Sony or MS. It's all about PS5 and Scarlet, and if they Sony and MS will deliver a great product and presentation, they will be successful like PS4 and 360, respectively.

By March 2019 Switch will have an install base of approximately 37 million based on Nintendo Projections. Somehow you think selling another 33 million between April 2019 and December 2020 is a lot? The best 3rd Party Experience will and always will be PC. So console sales will come down to Exclusives. Which is why I said PS5 will still be successful but will have a smaller life time sales than PS4. Microsoft has already proven they have no traction in the market with flat sales and a major revision (Xbox One to Xbox One X).
