You do realize black friday is all about deals ?
Switch was still 300$ but with a game while PS4 was 200$ with a game or something. It doens't take rocket science to know people will jump on the bigger deal.
Not cause it's 5 years old that it won't perform on sale driven holidays. That 5 years handicap will hit once we have the december numbers, i'm sure Switch will be leading by a very comfortable margin. And again, PS4 is down YoY while having better first party this year, so yes, it's clearly getting old. I think it will take a moderate hit next year as i don't see them having other big system sellers like a Goty/Spiderman/Monster Hunter.
Also, Nintendo never had huge numbers during black friday, these Switch numbers are insane for them and blew out the best 3DS ones. So yes, this is a big achievement for the Switch.

In the system seller category, they'll have Kingdom Hearts 3 and maybe Last of Us 2, but I agree.
This Black Friday, Sony was basically selling the system at $140 (less than half its MSRP) plus one of their biggest and best selling exclusives, which was also their most recent one. And while it definitely had the results they were hoping for (~1.09 million increase. The system's biggest one yet for Black Friday), it was still below last year and now we're going to see a pretty steep drop. The PS4's best years are behind it. Kingdom Hearts 3 may help it be flat YoY or slightly up in January and February, but from March onward I think we're going to see a noticeable and obvious decline. Nothing too drastic, but its baseline will likely be at the same level or slightly above what it was in 2014.

KH3 isn't really a system seller tho, this franchise isn't pulling that much number anymore and with all the ports the PS4 had i'm sure the fans are already on the console. I don't think big exclusives will come next year, maybe tlou 2 but idk, it won't beat 2018 (which is still down yoy even with a better year than 2017).
Also, we will start having more rumors and talks about next generation which can block a lot of potential sales.
