The strangest part is that although Switch have improved again the total YOY PS4 is not that far behind, after they have already peaked and are on the 6th year.

In 3 weeks the Switch will activate war mode with Switch Lite, 2D Zelda, Luigis Mansion and Pokemon coming in November. PS4 won't have a chance YOY, even with Death Stranding. But yes, still impressive PS4 sales...

Keep in mind that Nintendo tends to sell a bigger chunk of it's yearly sales during the holiday season than it's competitors. So while they are on par now, there will be a big gap at the end of the year due to this. Plus, Switch sales right now are somewhat low due to the incoming Lite model, otherwise there would certainly already be a slowly growing gap there.

But I agree with you that PS4 is doing great for of system of it's age.

Yep I believe that with Lite and Holidays Switch will have a very major lead against PS4. The only question is if they can outsell the 20M PS4 done on the peak this year or the next.
