Yep. They are stretching that gap. And delivering large volume, high velocity streams of software.

 

It's going to be an interesting fight between Switch and PS4 to see who takes the 2018 crown.

I don't see how. The PS4 i currently around 2M ahead of the switch in 2018 so far. The switch will need PS4 sales to pretty much grind to a halt over the next 2 months to stand a chance.

Not really, using the numbers from the YoY comparison thread shows this.

PS4

As of week 13 down ~4% YoY

As of week 26 down ~11% YoY

As of week 38 down ~16% YoY

 

NSW

As of week 13 up ~24% YoY

As of week 26 up ~23% YoY

As of week 38 up ~23 YoY

 

As the year has gone on PS4 sales have been trending downward from last year while NSW has held very stable YoY gains. Assuming this trend continues than PS4 could very well be down ~20% by the end of the year putting it at ~16.2m and if NSW remains up 23-24% it's been all year than it will end around ~16.2m as well.

Overall PS4 and NSW sales should be very close at the end of the year, I would say within 1 million of each other.
