Also, I hear PS4 will be down this FY from 20M last FY, due to over shipping last FY. (even though sell-through will be up YOY helping to clear last FY's stock) BTW, Do we still get PS Vita numbers, or are we just going to use estimates now? |
This is the final quarter of the fiscal year, so each company's projections are going to be very close to actual shipments. If Nintendo beats their new forecast, it likely won't be by much.
As for your next point, yes, Sony forecasts that PS4 will ship 19M for FY3/2018. In order to reach this, PS4 needs to ship 2.5M more in this quarter, which is in-line with how much they've shipped in previous Q4s.
Finally, no, we don't get PS Vita numbers. Sony stopped revealing precise shipments for any of their consoles in 2012. When PS4 came out in 2013 and was successful, they started sharing those numbers, but PS3 and Vita are mysteries after March 2012.
