For those interested. Here is my original prediction for MS & Sony sell in figures.
I made this prediction back in January and said the X1 would finish on 11.7m sold in and PS4 would finish on 18m sold in. I haven't changed my predictions at all apart from Sony's final sell in figure which I bumped up to 19m once they started to quote sold in numbers in their financial reports.
As you can see, in regards to Xbox One i really overestimated Q2 sales and that means my overall prediction is probably going to be around ~600k to high.
My PS4 prediction of 19m will probably be a bit low now as we now have been told that 18.5m is sold through so sold in will likely be higher than 19m, probably more than 19.5m as well.
Overall I think it's a not a bad prediction for 1 year in advance. What are your thoughts?
It's a shame that I can't accurately update MS sold in figures for Q2,3 and 4 so I've just estimated to the best of my ability.

You already said all  overstimated Xbone and understimated PS4.
But the predictions was really good.

I do wonder what Information we'll get today from Microsoft. At the moment we can estimate that Xbox 360 shipments for Q4 will probably be around 1.8m-2.4m with ~2.1m being what I think. That would give 360 over 4 million (around ~4.2m) shipped for 2014.
With that in mind i'd expect Microsoft to announce cumulative sales of X1 and 360 to be around ~6m
If it's well over 6 million then the Xbox One will have had an amazing Q4. If the number is more towards 5m or lower then it wouldn't be a great sign for worldwide shipments of X1 despite strong sell through in the US + UK.
