Yes, that is very normal, its actually quite a bit lower than previous quarters.

Sony announced sell through of 73.6m and shipments of 76.5m at the end of 2017, a difference of 2.9 million.

That's because of the holidays. It's normally lower than 2-3M.

I think it will go up either on revision or at Year End.

Hey slow down, to early to say PS4 have a chance of outselling Switch this year.

I don't remember a relevant console that haven't had pricecuts.

PS1 sold 100M and had a lot of them. PS2 sold 160M and had them. PS3/X360/Wii all sold over 80M and had them. PS4/X1 had them. I think all HH from Nintendo and Sony also had.

First time PS+ dropped this gen, and also probably first time that around the Q report they aren't near 50% attach ratio.

Perhaps that is due to the Q1 and Q2 having more great single player (like GOW and Detroit) than Multiplayer, perhaps at year end we get a boom of PS+... Some can say this is due to the backlash of the crossplay =p

My guess it a lot of those PS Plus subs were 3 month tryouts bought at Xmas. Luckily, it looks like most stuck around, since it only dropped by ~300K.

Also, I expect a ~$50 price cut this year. They are definitely not dropping to $199, though, except for Black Friday. 

Well, PS+ have been higher every Q. Sure it could be 3 months on Holiday, but still is the first drop. But I think on Q4 we shall be over 40M PS+
