I agree.

One system JUST launched, the other is at the peak of its pwoers. PS4 had gotten almost all of its big games out there, Switch knly hss 2. edit: (Bullsh*t, PS4 still has tons of big games yet to release)

Even if the PS4 is flat or slightly up YoY this year, next uear is when we are going to see a noticeable drop. At the same time the Switch will be taking off towards its real potential. Think about all of these following games that are coming later down the line(NiS) (Animal Crossing, Monster Hunter 5, Pokemon Gen 8, togo along with Splatoon 2 and Super Mario Odyssey.)

PS4 is only delaying the inevitable, sooner or later the Switch gonna get'cha.

Think about all these following games that are coming later down the line (for PS4):

Tekken 7, Crash Bandicoot: N Sane Trilogy, Middle-earth: Shadow of War, Destiny 2, Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite, South Park: The Fractured But Whole, Call of Duty WW2, Star Wars: Battlefront 2, Gran Turismo Sport, Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, Detroit: Become Human, Vampyr, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, Spider-Man, The Last of Us 2, Far Cry 5, Days Gone, God of War, Psychonauts 2, Red Dead Redemption 2, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Death Stranding, Kingdom Hearts 3, Darksiders 3, Shenmue 3, Dreams, Project Cars 2, Wild, Ni No Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom, Everybody's Golf,.... and tons and tons more.

Its not like the nintendo switch has more "big" titles comeing than the PS4 does, or the only one with a bright future still ahead of it.

I said BIG games. As in, potential/ guaranteed system sellers and/or AAA titles that make a noticeable impact on hardware sales AND will be the first games of their respective franchises on the hardware.

Tekken - Not that big of a franchise to big with.

Crash - Will move a lot of software, but just like Horizon, won't be a system seller.

Middle-rarth - Already has Shadow of Mordor. South Park - Apreary has Stick of Truth. Call of Duty - Already has Ghosts, Advanced Warfare, Black Ops 3, and Infinite Warfare... The people who wanted to buy a PS4 for Call of Duty have already done so. Star wars - Already has Battlefront 1. Uncharted - Already has the ENTIRE series minus that one Vita game. Detroit - Never heard of it, and I doubt anyone else has either , same with Vampyr ans Senua. Far Cry - Already has Primal. Pyschonauts - Not that big and already has the 1st one. Final Fantasy - Definitely big, but already has XIV, X/X-2 Remastered, and XV. And knowing Square Enix, VII won't be releasing anytime soon. By the time that game is ready, PS5 will be revealed or maybe be about to launch. Dreams - Never heard of it. Ni No Kuni - NICHE in every sense of the word. Everyone's Golf..... Seriously? THAT'S your argument? Do you seriously think that GOLF will make any impact whatsoever?

The only titles that  you listed that can sell large amounts of hardware are Gran Turismo, Spider-Man, RDR2, and Last of Us. (I'll add God of War 4 and GTA 6 just to be generous.)

I should also note that even with the launches of Slim and Pro last year, 2016 was still down YoY compared to 2015. 

Switch may not  have the same quantity of games at the moment, but the ones they have are among the biggest, if not THE biggest and most important. PS4 will still be strong soft are wise, hardware on the other hand, this year is its peak and prime, afterwards, it's going to start its decline.
