That's a bit surprising, but I think it'll be pretty close in the end. Given that Switch is over a million ahead of where it was last year, it probably won't lose that lead on its previous year, and that makes it on track to sell 17,565,922 at the moment for 2019. Given that Nintendo's sales are holiday heavy, that lead will probably increase a bit in the end, so Switch will inevitably close much of that gap with PS4's 2018, and might even surpass it in the end. Clearly barring a disaster Switch's 2019 will beat its 2018, so the Switch 2019 to PS4 2018 race will probably be more interesting to watch.

Will be interesting to see how it all leans up in the end as they've got a 1 million deficit to overcome. But still good on PS4 year 5 being that much in front of Switch year 3 half way through the year.

PS4 is after all one of the best selling systems of all time when all is said and done. It had a great 5th year. I think it was Reggie that mentioned it a couple of years ago (maybe last year?) that Nintendo pretty much always has roughly 50% of it's hardware sales in the Holiday quarter. So a non Nintendo system selling 18M in a year is very likely to be quite far ahead of a Nintendo one at the half mark.
