Will this be the last year PS4 outsells Switch?

Yes, PS4 will probably miss most of the handheld-level support, but it will get the same japanese and indie games (maybe even more, not sure here), 

You're really not sure if PS4 will get more Japanese support?
I didn't think that was a question. If we're talking about console-level games rather than games that would normally come out on 3DS or it's successor?

Whenever a Japanese third party console level game is announced (that doesn't have an exclusivity deal) it's a given that the PS4 logo will appear at the end of the trailer.
The same can not be said for the Switch logo up until this point. When it does occur it's been the exception rather than the rule. For every Valkyria Chronicles 4, there are multiple cases like Dead or Alive 6 where the Switch logo is absent.

I'll still give it another year to see how the situation improves, because I think it will, but even in a best case scenario it's hard to imagine it being a question if PS4 will get better Japanese support. And certainly not at this point when virtually every PS4 port Switch has gotten has either been a cross generational title with PS3/360 and/or a situation where the framerate could be cut in half. And most games do not run at 60f on PS4.

This was probably true last year, when the publishers were wary after the Wii U's failure, but by now it's more and more becoming the exception rather than the rule. With PS4 sales plateauing in Japan ans Switch Pacmaning the sales there, there's just little incentive to leave out the Switch anymore, even moreso since sales worldwide are not very far apart between the two.
