My predictions

PS3/360/Wii U-500k combined

Vita-about 1 million

3DS-4.5 million

XBO-8 million

PS4-17 million

NSW-12 million

Total-43 million

I believe 2017 will see the first YOY increase in hardware sales since 2008.

Did you miss Scorpio in that list, or is that included in XB one's 8 million. Which suggests Xb one will be flat year on year.

Yes, thats including Scorpio.

I dont see Scorpio really doing a whole lot for XBO annual sales. PS4 was flat YOY last year, according to Sony it sold 17.4m in 2015 & 17.5m in 2016 (less than 1% increase). Slim+Pro+PS VR didnt cause any notable YOY growth and I dont see Scorpio being any different.

I could see it being up or down slightly, 7.5 at the lowest and 9 million at the highest.
