It only looks close, because 2018 was kind of a "meh" year for the Switch, so that makes the PS4 look competitive.  Switch is about to pull ahead of PS4 for good.

That's a bold claim; I don't doubt Switch will sell well this year and 2021, but I'm skeptical whether Nintendo will push it hard enough beyond that for it to match PS4's legs in the long run.

The Switch is actually a very different animal than a system like the Wii.  Nintendo won't support of it so suddenly like they did the Wii.  They only have to support one system at a time now instead of splitting resources between home and handheld markets.  Also Switch style games are a better fit for Nintendo's developers compared to Wii style games.  Their developers prefer to make these types of games.
