Looking over your data, I think it might be ahead because of titles released in the beginning of this year (Horizon, Crash, Tekken, Injustice, Ghost Recon). Looking at the latter half of this year, there doesn't seem to be as much as a lot of games were pushed into 2018. Outside of the usual suspects (sports games, CoD, Assassins Creed), doesn't look like much will be there to really drive sales. There is also the Loot Box fiasco which could hurt sales of all of these titles.
I mentioned in another thread the issue between the data and Sony's shipments. Q1 shipments were down and they are expecting YoY decline. This could result in a weaker Q4 since the decline in selling to customers would lag sold to retailers. So Q4 sales could be down Year-over-year

But hasn't this been the case every year? The usual suspects to push the end of the year? And the 2nd half of the year i s usually always stronger than the first....plus GT Sport....can't count that one out. So I am not so sure they will be down YoY I still feel this will be the peak year. Some good holiday bundles can be made and that should give them the sales they need.

Well, Sony did announce they are going to have some big things to show at PGW. I wonder if one of them will be a $199 holiday bundle. And most likely a Pro cut to $349, just in time for the X luanch. Those would move quite a few units.
