A good prediction, if you can call it that. Should have been more certain in the OP like Tbone threads :P.

A somewhat hollow victory though, considering PS4 probably outsold the Switch (US+ Japan is certain and I am sure Europe is a foregone conclusion) last quarter yet shipped much less.

I can't recall what I voted at the start but it was probably the tie or Nintendo small victory.

There's nothing hollow about it. PS4 and Switch sold through similar numbers in calendar Q1 2018 while the PS4's release schedule was notably stronger. The low PS4 shipments during the same quarter are the result of too much excess stock from the previous quarter.

The new forecasts put Switch alone ahead of the PS4, something that hasn't been the case in the recently ended fiscal year.

1.PS4 shipped a bit less despite selling more. It can't be determined that the low shipments was due to last quarter, they could have simply undershipped this quarter, so that they can look good next quarter with higher shipments. An obvious indicator is how low stock is in Japan.

2.Yes I know.
