Here is the week 39 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 % Goal AWN (Change)
PS4 20,406 -35,074 1,243,685 62.2% 58,178 (+2698)
Switch 42,957 -115,777 1,820,671 45.6% 167,640 (+8906)

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.

Ack, completely forgot to post this chart last week. So much for consistency. Both systems are up week-over-week which is always a good thing. I added a percentage to goal field now since I'm much, much less certain that at least one console will make it to the goal, so tracking how relatively close they are to it in this final quarter will be important.
