Context is key.

As of week 7

PS4-558k

NSW-405k

 

As of week 21

PS4-880k

NSW-987k

 

Monster Hunter gave PS4 a really nice start to the year, peaking with a 153k lead over NSW but once its effects wore off it has sold barely half as much as NSW.

This trend is not going to change and actually get worse in PS4 favor as Switch has big guns releasing later this year along with Nintendo platforms traditionally getting much larger holiday boosts.

I think there's miscommunication here (or maybe I'm the one who doesn't understand). You're talking about the Switch topping the PS4 for 2018 (as in units sold in 2018), CosmicSex is talking about the Switch topping the PS4's LTD sales in 2018. I don't think anybody expects the PS4 to have better yearly sales than the Switch in Japan.

This. I assume that Switch will overtake PS4 in Japan in 2019.
