18 million sold PS4's possible by the end of the year?

I checked my own estimates from 1 year earlier, which says, by the end of 2014 ...

PS4 : 13.7 - 17.5
XB1 : 6.3 - 9.8

Now, I revisit this... By the end of Nov 15, VG data reveals

PS4 : 14.4
XB1 : 7.6

Given that in the remaining time frame 7 years ago, this is how much each console had sold :

PS3 : 3.2
X360 : 2.8

Based on this very rough baseline, I estimate the following figures to be sold for each console in the remaining time till the year's end.

PS4 : 4.9 to 6.5
XB1 : 1.5 to 2.5

and by the end of 2014, coming up to a total of...

PS4 : 19.2 to 20.9
XB1 : 9.1 to 10.1

although I believe the direction will be tilted towards XB1 a bit more due to aggressive price cuts, you can subtract 0.5 from PS4 and add it to XB1. Overall, I expect around 19-20 mil for PS4 and 9-10 mil for XB1
