In the US it should be over in mid 2022 already. No actually by March already.

2020 November and December: 1.356m + 2.1m = 3.456m*
2019 November and December: 1.43m + 2.036m = 3.466m*
2018 November and December: 1.356m + 1.77m = 3.126m*

*Numbers include estimates because actual leaks of NPD figures have become rare.

Current gap between Switch and PS4: 3.32m

Nintendo's hardware forecast suggests virtually flat global shipments during the holiday quarter, so if the same holds true for the allocation of units for the USA, then Switch should pass the PS4 by the end of 2021. If not, it should be so close that January finishes the job.

Switch vs. PS4 in the USA is a similar scenario as Switch vs. Wii worldwide. As long as Switch supply is roughly flat year over year, Switch is in a very good position to win both sell-through comparisons by the end of 2021.

Awesome, thanks for the numbers.
