The Switch has been out for less than 2 years, vs. 8 years or so for the PS4, which is quite a head start. It may outsell the PS4 right now, though.

You're off by a factor of two. The PS4 has been out for 4.5 years, not "8 years or so".

In FY2017 the PS4 sold 19 million units. The Switch sold 13 million (15.5M sold in total so far, but 2.7M were in FY2016).
