Well, so far the Switch managed above 200K a week. This probably means around 20K win against the PS4 per week. In 50 weeks the million is made. As holidays are insane, I declare it will be very close. Or Switch sales drop below 200K. In which case PS4 will win.

And to your addendum, that Switch is only available since may: keep in mind that launch moves a lot of units, but it will niot have another launch. So ongoing momentum is relevant here.

Using sony's official figures (7 million since January the 1st) PS4 has averaged 292k per week this year so far. They're on track for this to be PS4's best year.

2015  - 4.9m  (Jan 3rd to June 13th)
2016 -  5.2m (Jan 2nd to June 11th)
2017  - 7m (Jan 1st to June 11th)

Hmm, interesting, thanks for the numbers. I have estimated the PS4 numbers, as they are jumping more around with game releases (Switch numbers are more constrained by supply so far). If PS4 manages to keep above 200K in most weeks, than no chance for Switch. But even in my estimate I said in best case the Switch gets close and may have a chance over holidays, with this the chance is dwindling even in the best case (production levels and demand stays the same).
