Now the question is how long the Switch will be able to stay in front of the PS4... and if it could even overtake temporarely the Wii?

Maybe for one week but Switch is definitely losing it's lead against 3DS when both are likely going to sell ~12.5M units by the end of their own 1st year based off of Nintendo's ~10M figure for the Switch as of December 10th ... 

I wouldn't be so sure of that

It depends on how well the Switch is selling this holiday season and how high the weekly sales will be after that. We know about US and Japan already, what's missing is Europe and ROW - we will know about those probably more with Nintendo's investors meeting at the end of this month. About the sales in January and February, we will have to wait for the data to come in, but I'm sure it will be higher than in the april-july period where the Switch was heavily supply constrained. If the Switch sells about 12.5M this holiday season and middling 250k a week after that, the Switch would be at 14.5M, around the same as the Wii, 3DS and PS4 managed to achieve in their first 52 weeks

So in other words, Switch would possibly lead for a month or 2
