I really don't think so.  PS4 line up will be amazing next year, with next Goty The Last of Us Part II, Days Gone, Death Stranding, Ghost of Tsushima,

and all the best 3rd Party games which cannot even run on the Switch.   Furthermore, Sony is still holding back a worldwide price-cut,

and we all know how much PS4 would sell at 199$/€ !

 2019 will be another amazing year for PS4, which is proving to have an almost unparalleled success, only second to PS2.    

From those games only Days Gone is currently confirmed for 2019. release, games like The Last of Us Part II,  Death Stranding, Ghost of Tsushima could easily have cross gen launch in same time on PS4 and PS5, and that would have effect on PS4 sales in any case.

3rd party will strong for PS4 like always.

Yes we know, this second time Sony was selling PS4 at price point of $200, so people already have plenty occasions buying PS4 for less than $300.

2019. will be good year for PS4, but most likely will be YOY down in any case compared to this year.

I understand your dreams, but I think PS4 will win everywhere apart from Japan, which is the smallest and least important market nowdays.

 And Europe, well, Sony Land for ever, without any competition.

He is right thought, US was always strongest market for Nintendo same like Europe was for Sony, Switch has good chances beating PS4 in US at end, for now they are selling very similar in US for same time period.

It depends from Nintendo. If they will keep releasing upgraded version of Switch for the next 6 years, it might happen; but you know it would means nothing as PS5 will be out from Nov 2020 most probably, it will be the new workhorse of Sony and PS4 will start little by little fading.  A new gen is starting after the absolute dominion of ps4, so what will happen in NA in 2023-2025 on the clouded and forgotten stage PS4 vs Switch means absolutely nothing. PS5 will be probably ruling again, a new underpowered Nintendo console will be out, trying to compete with Sony and Microsoft which are in the market with their new consoles since 2-3 years alredy.

 This generation is over, PS4 has dominated; we will see with next gen what will happen.
