Looks like the PS4 has a harder time this year to catch up again. And I think next year it possibly won't at all, seeing how well the Switch was doing this Winter without big releases.

Interesting stuff! Can we get the global version of this chart? Of all the gap charts that's the one I'm most interested in!

PS4 is doing amazing for a home console let alone one that has been out almost 7 years now. Where I switch have already had perm price drop so that probably helping sales. I mean PS4 is the cheaper of the two and that's the only way it can compete right now.

The graph is launch aligned, so each console in this graph is the same age.
