Yeah, but the comparison would be 6.7m(PS4) vs. 6.1m(Switch).

Going into the holiday season that difference is fairly negligible, and what may be Switch's biggest title is only dropping next week.

Lest we forget that Switch is only in it's first year as a system.

You think PS4 won't increase that gap during holidays even when were including the Switch's inflated honeymoon period where they released a flagship AAA system selling games every quarter so far while we're excluding PS4's first two months of this year ? Last holiday quarter PS4 sold OVER 9M units! 

If Nintendo's projection remains, they'll only ship 4M units for this quarter if they reached shipping 7M units at the end of September. Even making adjustments as high as 3M units for this quarter alone means that the Switch likely won't beat PS4 or even close the gap ... 

Anyways, this will be the last response regarding this matter since this is not the thread to be discussing about this subject ... 

I did mention Switch is only in it's first year, which kind of encompasses the fact that they can't ship or have as much stock ready as they'd like. It will still have the most desired game these holidays though, and that'll be another title which will have legs even for several months after.

PS4 having to compete with that and also XB1X will struggle to top previous holiday sales, and may possibly even under-perform, unless they have something big to show at Paris Games Week.

Again, Switch only being in it's first year is still just warming up. So I don't think it's time to be talking like we've seen anything definitive for the future of these systems yet.
