While the PS4 is in front, unless the announcement of the Switch Lite throws a wrench into the Switch's sales wheels until it's release, The advantage should start to shrink now over the course of summer, and then shrink rapidly/grow in favor of the Switch once the Lite is released.

Like SpokenTruth already explained, 2H from Nintendo beat the one of the PS4. Nintendo being traditionally dtrong during the holiday season coupled with the 1-2 punch of Pokemon Let's go and Smash Ultimate certainly helped to that, but it wasn't the only factor. Nintendo already announced back then that during Summer the sales went up, so the rise came from across the entire 2H last year. With what has been announced to come this July and then starting August 30, there will be a similar push this year throughout summer, and then Lite, Link's Awakening and Pokemon will push it into overdrive.

Do you think Switch Lite would be tallied up with Switch sales? It's not as if they're just selling the switch controller without the dock. It doesn't support any output to a TV, no joycons etc, so it's a dedicated handheld device that will over time I assume replace the 3DS. 

It makes no meaningful difference either way but interesting to see if people would add those sales to the Switch.

Pretty sure they will
