Excellence is always somewhate relative.  A console selling this well is killing it.  If the Iphone was selling these numbers it would be an unmitigated catastrophe on an unprecedented scale.  

But no, the first statement of someone saying it was "killing it" was just that, it was great.  Then someone swooped in and said it couldn't be killing it because it wasn't beating PS4 enough.  Ignoring that said person never meant the PS4 was getting destroyed but the Switch was doing great.  The PS4 happening to be the metric was happenstance.  If Xbone were the one dominating, it would be Xbone.  If 3DS was outselling the two, it would be that.  

Selling this well but close to the other... so Is PS4 also killing it? If it is then it is both are killing

I mean, yeah, that is fair to say since it is up year on year, it being it's own strongest metric.  The thing is, it's been killing it since launch.  It's just not news so people aren't going to make a huge deal about it.  That's just human nature, the older the news the less excitement it generates.  But it's also fair to say the Switch doing what it is doing is more immediately impressive due to surrounding context.
