So much for that "seeing Switch take June, too" comment. 
Seriously, I doubt it's below 200K. PS4 did do ~208K last year and I'm sure it's still up YOY like it's been the past few months. I do wonder when Nintendo is going to sort out its production issues and if it's true that Apple has been taking the memory they want to use for the Switch. Maybe they are having problems finding someone who will give them a similar deal to Toshiba.

Depends if the low sales numbers comes from holding back consoles for the launch of their next titles and if Nintendo could increase their production numbers even if just slightly. Meaning Arms launch could have freed up enough consoles to get #1 again |
But May was basically Mario Kart month. I mean, sure April included two days of its launch, but people thought Nintendo was holding back stock for its launch, which should have made May on par, or maybe even higher than April. However, that doesn't seem to be the case. The same thing happened in Japan for MK8's launch, as well. I think Nintendo is shipping them as soon as they can. It might be the lack of NAND that we heard reports of not that long ago. And so far, going by Japan, Nintendo hasn't ramped it up, yet.
I think a lack of stock for the Switch, coupled with the $249 Gold PS4 that topped online charts on Amazon and Gamestop (probably others, but I didn't check them) for almost a week, means an easy PS4 victory.
