Read the breakdown article here.

The PlayStation 4 was the best-selling console worldwide with 248,529 consoles sold for the week ending April 18, according to VGChartz estimates. The release of Final Fantasy VII Remake the previous week helped keep sales for the console high for another week.

The Nintendo Switch is still seeing heavy shortages worldwide and was the second best-selling console with sales of 175,526 consoles sold. This was followed by the Xbox One with 58,081 units, and the Nintendo 3DS with 4,621 units. 

PS4 sales compared to the same week a year ago are up 35,700 units (16.77%). The Xbox One is up 11,719 units (25.28%), the Switch is down 9,034 units (-4.89%), and the 3DS is down 19,469 units (-80.82%).

Global hardware estimates (Followed by lifetime sales):

1. PlayStation 4 - 248,529 (109,054,987)
2. Switch - 175,526 (54,569,910)
3. Xbox One - 58,081 (47,084,996)
4. 3DS - 4,621 (75,164,371)

This might be the last week with the ps4 on top as each week passes the shortages for the switch are getting under control and the final fantasy VII craze is over as declining week two sales have shown so it might get one more week for the ps4 on top but then it switch steam ahead.

A $199 PS4 still has the potential to do wonders saleswise.

I guess sony still believe they don't need it and are fine as is. Probably them not wanting to complicate their manufacturing output any further being that the PS5 is right around the corner.

If you ask me its a small miracle that a $299 7yr old console is still managing to be on top any week. I definitely wasn't expecting the PS4 to break 200k any week this year.

That is true but key bundles can work wonders when you have a game that has basically wanted since the early days of the PS3

Yeah. Software sells hardware. No red herring in it. 

OT: Appreciate you getting these up so swiftly! @trunkswd 

No problem. When it comes to doing the weekly hardware figures I like to wait for Famitsu (used to be Media Create) to release their figures before posting our weekly estimates. It is a shame we get so little in the way of concrete hardware figures. We used to get weekly figures out of Spain, actual figures from NPD each month in the US, now we are lucky to get anything outside of Japan. With the Switch shortages it is hard for us to track figures for the console. At least we get figures from Nintendo and Sony every quarter. 

FF7R was going to move a decent amount of consoles at launch, even with the PS4 being so old. Though, PS4 sales are likely going to continue to drop this week, while Switch is starting to see more stock. Switch could outsell the PS4 worldwide this week, depending on how many units Nintendo is able to ship. 

Yep. This should not only help us drive traffic, but keep what we report as accurate as possible! 

that looks to be the case but here in the states in might still be in short supply due to scalpers and their bots.  This unless a giant PS4 exclusive game were to drop on the system will probably be the last time we will see the console on top.
