Week 29 Numbers Breakdown:

PS4:

Down in Europe, Japan, and the Rest of the World.
Down overall.

Xbox One:
Up in the United States and the Rest of the World.
Down in Europe and Japan (HA!).
Up overall.

Nintendo Switch.
Up in all regions and overall.

Ghosts of Tsushima evidently had no effect on PS4 hardware sales. I don't think this is due to a lack of supply, because if it were supply issues. It would still be up anyways since Sony would have felt the need to product extra shipments for the release of a major new 1st party title, just like Nintendo did with Paper Mario. No, it looks more like Sony is starting to wind down PS4 production and shifting their focus and attention to the PS5.

The Nintendo Switch has just passed the 11 million mark for the year in Week 29. For comparison's sake, it didn't pass 11 million last year until Week 45. Furthermore, it's lifetime total has also passed 60 million. Just how far will this beast go?

Switch in 2020 basically has a 16 week lead when compared to Switch in 2019.  That's incredible!  However 16 weeks is the widest this gap is going to get, because week 46 in 2019 corresponds to the launch of Pokemon in November, and every week 46 and later in 2019 has huge sales numbers.  Still a 16 week lead before 2019 hits it's holiday season is pretty damn impressive.
