So you think Xbox one x is going to get its highest january sales next year aswell?

My understanding is that a product sells the most upon release and then we will see if it has legs down the line.

You could argue that PS4Pro had legs through 2017 but i don't see why that wouldn't also be true for 2018 and 2019. 2017 isn't any different.

All games released after October 2016 supports PS4Pro so saying "PS4 Pro optimized games were released" doesn't make any sense because that happened in 2016 aswell and it will also happen in 2018. 

PS4 has an even better software line-up for 2018 so i don't see why it wouldn't sell better since that is the main difference between 2017 and 2018.

I don't think Xbox One X's sales will be greater next year, I don't see the Xbox selling more than 50 millions in its lifetime.

2017 was the year where 2 new PS4 models were on the market, a cheaper one and a more powerful one. People who already owned a PS4 and wanted a PS4 Pro already bought it. I don't see why there would be a higher demand this year for both PS4 models, that's why I think the peak was in 2017.

I may be wrong, like many of us were wrong about many subjects here. If I'm wrong, I would go to the "I was wrong" thread and post it how I was wrong about the PS4's peak year.

2 new PS4 models were also on the market in 2016 and they will still be on the market in 2018 at likely a lower price."

"People who already owned a PS4 and wanted a PS4 Pro already bought it"

But with this logic they would have already upgraded back in 2016 since the console never dropped in price. Why did they buy it in 2017 then?

I am not trying to tell you that you are wrong, i am just trying to understand why you think what you think.

I personally think that there are a lot of mainstream games coming to PS4 this year that are ticking time bombs of success, and PS4 didn't have any of that in 2017 yet it still sold like crazy.
