Yeah that's not really what the weekly reports from gamesindustry tells us but if you wanna go with the guesstimates by vgchartz where the two were basically interchangeable for all those weeks, and if you think a 170£ Forzabundle is nothing special, then we're done here.

I wasn't aware of such reports.

Still, even if use those, it doesn't really justify XB1 being second.
XB1 might have been cheaper and having a game like Forza, bundled, but Switch is also a very appealing product - if not more - and it had on it's side one of the most valuable IPs. Not to mention the fact that Let's Go is very appealing to mobile and handheld gamers alike.

The fact that XB1 is on the market for 5 years, doesn't help Switch's case.

Yes the Switch is a very appealing product, but it's also much more expensive (during a holiday period when deals matters more than usual), in a less prominent Nintendo market. The Switch being so close to both Xbox and PS4 despite it's much higher price is very good in the UK.

Look beyond placing and look at the wording instead, it's narrowly worse than the Xbox which in its turn is only narrowly worse than PS4. It's good sales for the Switch, being #3, #2 or #1 matters not.
