If I look at the table, PS4 only started at week 23 to dip below 150K a week, seemingly the production rate of Switch before increase. So the PS4 will increase the lead for some time.

By the way, which week will be the japanese launch for PS4?

The PS4 isn't far above 150k in most weeks, so the lead won't grow by much most of the time. But yes, the 1-1.5m value in my post doesn't make sense. Originally I had it at ~1.5m which was much more appropriate as the incoming Japanese launch for the PS4 (the week with ~470k) will definitely push the gap above 1.5m. Later on there is a bunch of ~130k weeks for the PS4 that should correlate with Switch's Splatoon 2 launch and higher supply, so Switch should close the gap and bring it back to below 1.5m.

So the japanese release is week 15. I suspected as much, but wasn't sure. So after week 15 PS4 is available in all reagions and sales are comparable.

I agree, around the time the demand for PS4 drops the Switch should do better because increased production and demand should be there with Splatoon.
