UPDATE: October 31st, 2017

Both Sony and Nintendo have announced their latest shipment figures.

Sony: 4.2m PS4s for the quarter, YTD of 7.5m.
Nintendo: 2.93m for Switch for the quarter, YTD 4.89m. 1.9m for 3DS, YTD 2.86m. Total: 7.75m.

Nintendo turned the 0.38m deficit from last quarter into a lead of 0.25m. Furthermore, both companies made upwards adjustments to their projected figures for the full fiscal year.

Sony: Expected to ship 19m PS4s, up by 1m.
Nintendo: Expected to ship 14m Switches, up by 4m. 3DS remains at 6m. Total: 20m.

Nintendo's forecasts started with a deficit of 2m and are now 1m ahead of Sony, so currently the numbers are pointing towards a Nintendo win by a tiny margin after Sony's Vita is factored in. If the fiscal year ended as forecasted by both companies, this would qualify as virtual tie.

Lastly, here's an updated snapshot of the poll. The previously mentioned caveats for VGC polls still apply.

Which company will sell the most consoles in the fiscal year ending March 2018?

Sony (by more than 3m) 202 31.56%
 
Sony (between 2-3m more) 39 6.09%
 
Sony (between 1-2m more) 49 7.66%
 
Virtually tied (within 1m of each other) 88 13.75%
 
Nintendo (between 1-2m more) 84 13.13%
 
Nintendo (between 2-3m more) 30 4.69%
 
Nintendo (by more than 3m) 75 11.72%
 
Microsoft (seriously) 10 1.56%
 
Microsoft (for the lulz) 20 3.13%
 
Scoreboard 43 6.72%
 
Total: 640

A good 100 additional votes have been casted with a very similar distribution as before. The biggest change is for the option 'Nintendo (between 1-2m more), but even that is an increase by less than one percent point compared to three months ago.

So why are you counting the 3DS with switch? This is not apple to apple comparison.

 

Check out your poll title, 3DS is not a console.

 

Sony wins, just look at last quarter difference. Not only that, Sony posted the best Q2 ever for PS4
