That doesn't include PS4's second holiday season.

If you align like with like, then the PS4's 2014+2015 period should be compared to the Switch's 2017+2018, in which case you get:

NSW: 10.5M
PS4: 10.43M

The Switch wins by a relatively minuscule ~0.7%, due entirely to its first Q4.

Although the difference is rather miniscule, the 2013 PS4 launch inevitably took sales away from PS4's 2014 quarter. It did after all have some stock problems in Jan 2014.
