While the PS4 sales are down year on year quite a bit. They are still ahead of 2016 in which the PS4 sold over 17 million. So I still think the PS4 could sell over 16 million this year. Especially if TLOU 2 releases, although I doubt that. I predicted it would be a cross launch title for PS4/PS5.
One thing that's interesting to me is that despite 2016 being below 2017/2018 in total sales, it is actually the year when holiday sales peaked for PS4.
Based on that, even if 2019 matches 2016 during the early part of the year it should fall behind quite a bit when all is said and done.
So, switch beat 20 m fy.
How did you come up with that? Assuming next week is another ~200k week for Switch, this site will have it at ~17 million for the fiscal year.
Only if Mario Maker pushes hardware constantly quite a bit or if new hardware is going to be released.
It should say, "three home consoles and two handhelds over comparable periods for 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019."
