IHS Markit Research is pretty good source from what i hear, makes sense why sony was so conservative in there sales prediction.  IHS Markit also reports 12.8 million Switch units were sold for 2017. They are suppose to best in the business when it comes to estimates, but who knows, we'll have to wait for sony official to see how good they are. 

A pretty good source? You must have forgotten that threads about their 12.8m figure for Switch had to be locked thrice because IHS's credibility was in question due to them getting PS4 numbers wrong despite sell-through numbers that were reported by Sony.

The Xbox One estimate that this thread is about doesn't instill confidence in IHS either. They think that the Xbox One sold ~4m units during the first three months of 2018.

nobody know's the true xbox numbers , so how can you know it was at 35 million? the other thread got closed over mainly cause it was me that posted that thread and it was a shit show with people mainly focusing on me instead of the news.  IHS market is traded on nasdaq , its a billion dollar company, what better sources do we have for estimates?
