PS4: I would say that PS4 has already peak last year but their wild card is PS4 owners converting to PS4 Pro added to casual gamer picking much cheaper PS4 consoles.
September should be bigger month with the release of Spiderman (But does this game have limited appeal? can it sell over 8 million copies and get in the top 10 PS4 games?)

I don't think Sony will do better then 2017, but they will still easily out sell Microsoft or Nintendo worldwide. 

XB1: Microsoft will do very well when compare to their own performance: (I expect that Microsoft will rebound from last year and this could be the Console peak year with 9m+) 
1. They won E3 (IMO)
2. The Xbox one X will benefit from Sony not giving any news on the PS5 and it seem more likely like next gen of consoles won't be till 2020 or later. 
3. Cheap Xbox one S with game pass is great value proposition. 

Switch: Is on pace to already have a better year then 2017, expect a big boost in the holidays while people are still interest in picking up the new consoles and Smash coming out in December just in time to boost Xmas numbers.
Disappointing E3 for Nintendo (IMO) and we are getting a slower more Nintendo like pace to game release.  

I really hope that Nintendo drop the 3DS entirely or the system only get Switch port going forward. Focusing only on one consoles should really increase Nintendo output of games... compare to Wii and WiiU. 

They're basically doing that already. The 3DS was practically nonexistent at E3 this year with no new announcements whatsoever. The only notable releases left for it from here on out, are Captain Toad (a Wii U port that is also on Switch), Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story (A DS Remake), Luigi's Mansion 1 (GameCube remake). The only actual new games that are coming out for it are Wario Ware Gold and Etrian Odyssey X. That's it.
All it takes is a glance at E3 this year, and even last year, to clearly know where Nintendo's priorities are. The 3DS, at this point, is reduced to just cheap ports that they can scrap together when they need a notable release that can make easy money.
