If the percentages up/down stay the same for the full year, the PS4 should sell 18M in 2018, the XBox 9M and the Switch 16M. I have the strong feeling though, that the losses/wins will not stay proportional.

If I’m not mistaken, it looks like since the release of Spider Man that PS4 2018 is closing the gap now with 2017. I can’t see it closing it completely, but it’s going to be close, which is still very impressive for the console’s fist year on the down slope.

Ps4 already has, according to sony, 86m at the end of Q2. Probably today, slightly above the numbers for 2017.
