The interesting thing is that sales have apparently been decent when there aren't that many lenses available for Z mount and EOS-R mount yet. People buying them are probably for the most part just using existing Canon and Nikon lenses on them with an adapter. It will take awhile before these lens catalogs are well filled out.

Others have said it, but I think Canon has plenty of experience in making video recorders. They have just chosen to cripple their video to a certain extent on their SLRs.

A couple of things to note.
First of all, most cameras have highest sales in the first few months after release. Some, like the D850, have staying power and continue to sell well. Others drop off the face of the earth to be superseded by newer models. Mirrorless is particularly this way, as it relies heavily on tech to sell new products.
Second, these stats are focused on Asia and Japan in particular. This is not necessarily true of Europe and North America where mirrorless sales have trailed SLR sales by a lot more. The mirrorless market in the US is a lot smaller and I doubt it will shift nearly as fast.
Anyway, Canon will do well, but it is way too soon to write off Sony.
