FINAL UPDATE: April 27th, 2018
Both Sony and Nintendo have announced their results for the full fiscal year.
Sony: 19.0m PS4s, Vita undisclosed.
Nintendo: 15.05m for Switch, 6.4m for 3DS. Total: 21.45m.
In the final quarter of the fiscal year, Nintendo grew their lead of 1.48m to 2.45m before PlayStation Vita is factored in. This value of 2.45m makes it a little bit difficult to determine if Nintendo's win falls into the 1-2m range or the 2-3m range, but either way, it's certain that Nintendo is #1 again. I'll say that Nintendo's margin of victory falls into the 1-2m range, because it isn't really something that is worth fighting over and it has been a very long time since we've heard anything about Vita sales outside of Japan.
As you can tell from the headline of this update, this thread has run its course and won't receive any further updates. A year ago this was a very interesting comparison, because anything other than a Sony win was going against the majority opinion. Now there's no question anymore regarding who is the #1 in the console business, because the forecasts for the fiscal year ending March 2019 are as follows:
Sony: 16m PS4s, Vita undisclosed.
Nintendo: 20m for Switch, 4m for 3DS. Total: 24m.
That's such a big gap between forecasts that it is a foregone conclusion who will sell the most consoles in the fiscal year that started this month.
The reason why there's no new snapshot of the poll in this final update is because only 24 new votes have come in during the last three months. Those are too few votes to have a meaningful impact on the results of a poll with over 900 votes in total.
