Sony PS4 rest easy old champion. You've fought well since 2013 but ... The Nintendo Switch has taken this impressive lead ;). However Sony won't let this go unanswered. Sony PS5 is about to break all records in 1 more month ;")

Switch should be able to do 10-12 millions next quarter. Putting it to around 27-29 millions sold this year. Incredible.

And with that, PS4 sales fell below 50%. I expect it to drop to ~45% by the end of the year

Looks like I miscalculated in my head, and 47.6% is seemingly what I was actually aiming for. (77.7M Switch by end of the year)
