So what did sony ship in 2016 and 2017?

Can't remember.

I just know they shipped fewer units in FY 2017 than they did in FY 2016. But sold more units in 2017 CY than they did in 2016 CY.

Maybe someone with those numbers can put them up.

FY ending March 2017-20 million

FY ending March 2018-19 million

Calendar year 2016-17.5 million

Calendar year 2017-20.2 million

Congrats to Sony. UK was 360 land, and I was expecting something more from MS. X1 is a very good console, there's something I don't get. I think right now it deserves better sales !

Firesales can only get you so far. PS4 just has the stronger library, both in terms of 1st party exclusives and 3rd party titles (exclusive or not.)

I think 2019 will probably be the Switch Peak year... nintendo consoles usually dont peak in the later years, but in the earlier ones.
PS4 in its 6th year, wont be able to beat out the switch at its peak.

And yeah Playstation has alot of brand trust buildt up in europe, its gonna be hard for others to steal that away.
