And we'll talk about this  when we'll have a more clear image after this holiday.

Yeah its too early to tell yet... either of you could be right.

I can understand Intrinsics logic though.
Going by this thread: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=234574

2018 sales so far:
PS4 : 6,516,224 units
XB1 : 2,190,595 units
NSW : 4,804,066 units

The Switch is 1,71m+ down compaired to the PS4 so far, and its going to keep growing most likely up towards the holidays.
The Switch will have to have a monsterous holiday sales, to beat the PS4 in 2018.

I guess it comes down to

PS4 : Spiderman + Red Dead Redemption + Call of Duty/Battlefield + Shadow of the tombraider + Fallout 76 + more.
vs
Switch:  Octopath Traveler + Super Mario Party + Pokemon lets go + Super Smash Bro's + more.


I think the PS4 lineup is stronger towards the holidays, yes thats because of the 3rd party support, but you cant just ignore 3rd party.
They do have a impact.

True, the PS4 lineup is strong but Nintendo Switch, Naturally, has more selling potential than the PS4 this holiday. It's the newer device and PS4 already has a COD, Battlefield, Tombraider, and a Fallout game. You have to consider, how many potential new consumers are you going to bring in if those IPs are already available on that platform. There is no Mario Party, Pokemon, or Smash Bros. game on the Switch yet so fans of those series will be more than likely picking up a Switch in greater quantaties than it would be a Fallout 4 player picking up another PS4 to play Fallout 76.
