It's not even sure that the PS4 will outsell the Switch this year. Sure, PS4 is in front for now but a) it's tracking well below last year's sales despite the release of such great sellers like God of War and Monster Hunter World, so it will most likely not sell as well as you might expect and b) Switch had a rocky start this year with barely any high profile releases, but starting with Mario Tennis Aces the bigger releases are coming in for the second half of the year and culminating in a Smash and Pokémon 1-2 punch and possibly a great black Friday deal for the holiday season. 

With both Smash and Pokémon in this holiday season this holiday season will belong to Nintendo. Sony needs to build up a sizeable advantage in sales to fend off the assault from Nintendo, even with a probable pricecut for the PS4 in the meanwhile. 

I very much doubt that. 2017 had mario kart, mario odyssey, zelda, and splatoon 2, along with switch  being a new hot product that was supply limited till near the holidays, switch won't be dominating anything, probably in japan it will.

These games brought the Switch baseline up to where it is nowadays, and it shows on the weekly software sales charts as they show their super long legs. However the Switch is still missing many key franchises, with Smash, Fire Emblem and some Pokémon games already announced for this year alone. Add to this more, newer and bigger 3rd party games like Octopath Traveller, Dark Souls and probably Fortnite and you can be pretty sure that the Switch will take up the slack and lead the sales charts in the second half of the year, and dominate during the holiday season. And that's without any new game announcements during E3.
