91.6M is what I expected roughly for PS4, but holy fudgy crud at Spidey. 9M before December is insane, must be at something like 11M+ by now.

That's 18.0M sales for PS4 in 2018, which is a brilliant number. Not down much from 20.2M in 2017 and beats 2016's 17.5M for its second best ever year.

How much is Sony expecting to sell next year, or has that not been announced yet?

PS4 could end up around 120 million.

They never announce expected sell-through. They expected to ship 17.5M this FY, which seems about right with 18M sales in the calendar year.

If a PS5 is announced but not released in 2019, I can see about 14-15M sales for PS4 this year. If PS5 isn't mentioned at all then even higher, especially if there's a big price cut. If PS5 is announced and released (which I very much don't expect) then its gonna be lower.

My prediction: price cut roughly half way through the year after a relatively poor first half, boosts sales to a good amount and it hits 15-16M for the year. If PS5 is announced then cut that to 13-15M.

PS4's 2018 breakdown:

Jan 1st - July 22nd (202 days): 7.6M sales, 37.6k per day average
July 23rd - Nov 18th (121 days): 4.8M sales, 39.7k per day average
Nov 19th - December 31st (43 days): 5.6M sales, 130k per day average

Holiday sales every year for PS4:

Holiday 2013: 4.2m
Holiday 2014: 4.1m
Holiday 2015: 5.7m
Holiday 2016: 6.2m
Holiday 2017: 5.9m
Holiday 2018: 5.6m

Steady decline now, but still not too far off its best.

And this probably means they shipped around 500k less than last holiday quarter, so something like 8.5M for the holiday Q and 18.1M for the calendar year total. Can Switch beat that to be 2018's number 1? Its on 8M before the last quarter.

Thinking about NPD now. PS4 November was 200k down on last year, but most of that was probably due to early November having no COD launch.

PS4 was up YOY in the UK, and seemingly most of Europe as there were aggressive deals throughout the holiday period. Japan was flat YOY for the holiday period too (assume nothing wild happened in week 52).

So for me, with WW being 300k down on last year for the holiday period, I think best case scenario for PS4 in December NPD is 980k (which would be 100k down from last year). Something like 850-900k seems most likely. Yeah... Switch > PS4+XB1 is 100% happening for December.

I'm impressed with only 300k down with almost no deals in the US

Spidey is a monster. 11m+ for sure by the end of the year
