Will this be the last year PS4 outsells Switch?

I'd be more interested in that split for Q1, but the only thing available is VGC numbers, which leaves me in a catch 22. Can't argue about the viability of VGC figures when VGC is the only available source for data. We shall see how this plays out over the rest of the year.

It's not an actual catch 22. You don't have any reasons to doubt the VGC data when it has been pretty much spot on before (in terms of total sales at least). If you don't have any data to support your case then it's just a baseless hunch at best and can't really be considered in any sort of sense. So it's either up to you to prove the past data quoted as faulty or accept it as the best we have and try and draw conclusions based on it.

Did you miss last NPD when VGC was off by 50-60k for each console? Here is my post from the prediction thread

"Here are the North America estimates from this site

PS4-315k
NSW-270k
XBO-220k

Now thats North America while NPD is for United States so lets assume USA is ~85% of NA than we are looking at this

PS4-~270k
NSW-~230k
XBO-~185k"

 

We rarely get sales data for most of Europe & RotW so i doubt this sites weekly estimates are that great and are constantly getting adjusted whenever we get sell-through or quarterly shipment data.

Basically the only region that is consistently accurate is Japan because we get weekly data from them.
