It was down like 300k or less? in 2017 december..... a huge part of that was just sony not bothering to keep prices as low as xbox.
I think that had a bigger effect than the Switch did, to impact its sales.

I believe sony could have done as well as in 2016, if they had kept prices down abit longer, they choose profit instead of unit sales.

Down 300k when the rest of the year is up by millions imply a much bigger difference than 300k. It would have been up by 1m+. Did 2016 also get official $199 for BF and $249 for part of december? Because those price deals seem better for 2017.

Sometimes its not just how low something was cut in price.... but how long it stayed that way.
In 2017, they didnt keep prices low for long, in 2016 they probably tried harder than 2017 december.
