Okay, much as I agree Switch will definitely pass Xbox One lifetime, I don't see why so many are so confident it'll happen this year.

That's a 14 million gap to close, while the gap shrank by roughly 8.5 million in 2018. So we'd have to see a YOY combined Switch increase/Xbone decline of 5.5 million in 2019 for Switch to take point. That's a tall order.

It's simple. Switch is likely to end this year with around 30m consoles sold which will put it's yearly sales to ~17m. Xbox One will end this year with a little bit more than 43m consoles sold which will put it's yearly sales to around 7.5m. With that said the most likely outcome in 2019 would be Switch seeing a growth and selling 20m and Xbox One seeing a small decline with drop to 6-7m yearly sales. Both consoles should finish this year at around 50m mark.
