Here is the week 18 update in terms of the two big consoles in Japan's path to be able to reach the commonly stated (in these sales threads) estimates for 2018 sales (2 mil for PS4, 4 mil for Switch) .

  TWS GD YTD AWN (Change)
PS4 34,994 +528 828,667 34,450 (-16)
Switch 53,113 -37,361 886,516 91,573 (+1099)

TWS - This week's sales
GD - Goal differential, the difference between the average week needed from last week compared to this week's sales
YTD - Units sold in 2018 so far including this week's sales
AWN - Average weekly sales needed to reach the estimate for the console.

PS4 stays level with last week and reaches its AWN once again as stock remains fully available for Golden Week. Switch gets the anticipated GW boost following a strong initial week for DKTF.

Have your predictions for this year changed at all? I remember you saying PS4 could sell 2.8 million this year (i dont remember what you said for NSW).

Good question.  KH4 would have to come out and be huge and Spider-Man would have to be much, much, more popular as a game than ever before to even come close to that prediction. That said, I'm still very confident that the ratio of sales between Switch and PS4 will be lower in 2018 than it was in 2017, as I predicted here: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=8744379
