As of January 2016, Sony were at 35.9 million. Basically 36M. They have been doing better or or par YOY this year too. Meaning they are still selling around 1M consoles per month. 

But you are basically saying that they sold only 2M from January to the end of March? And then XB1 basically sold around 2-3M in same period?

I don't think so. 

 

No they sold 4 million to reatilers in this time period (36million >>>> 40 million)and Xbox sold 2-3 million in the same time(19 million>>>>22 million). XOne is doing better YoY too!

Sony's 35.9 Millions Statement was of Consoles sold to costumers, not to Stores, Stores probably was 37-38 Millions Shipped, i don't think that in 3 months they only sold 2 Millions of Consoles, and Xbox One, that was something near 18-19 Millions based on baseless Statements, even so you take the Highest possible sales for Xbox One,and the Lowest possible for Xbox One, the gap is greater than you Think, USA Sales, based on NPD, PS4, have over 2 to 1 Advantage over Xbox One, for January, February, and Probably also in March, so the Worldwide gap is atleast 3 to 1, maybe even more, if you Expect Xbox One, to Sell, Ship, etc, 2 Millions, PS4, must do 3 times this Worldwide, so 6 Millions. if PS4, shipped 2-3 Millions, and sold over 3-3.5 Millions in 3 Months, Xbox One, shipped over 650-1 Million of Units, and sold over 1-1.1 Millions worldwide in the same time.

Those numbers are based in the gap that we know from Official Sources, if want to make a Base in something, need to use the Gap that we know.
