They did 1.7m last year and retailer info this year suggests 1.8m+ so 2m is possible. Yeah last year's bundles were not great. This year however we've got so many games added to the line up. GOW, Detroit, SoTC, RDR2, Spiderman, BO4 and fortnite is much much bigger and the main console for it is the PS4.

 

So there's definitely reason to believe 2m is possible. 1.5m in December? What did it do last year? For the reasons mentioned above I think Sony can beat December last year if they offer their holiday bundles including spiderman for $249.

Last December, the ratios were 1 for Switch, .91 for X1 and .72 for PS4. 

The rumored amount sold for the Switch was 1.4m so that 72% would be 1m.  Sony had a awesome BF deal last year but like you said had subpar games and bundles leading up to the end of the year so sales dropped hard Month to Month (November to December).  Sony announced their December deal for the Pro on  the 10th.  I suspect that this year we will see the same but it'll be a better pro offer, so it'll be easier to sell more that the 1 million it did last year.

Thank you. So i really expect 1'5M in December then. Good holiday season for PS4 and probably making it difficult to Switch to catch up in the end despite the launch of Smash. If PS4 ends selling 1'5M in December, it is possible that PS4 will sell more than Switch in the holiday season in USA. I'm pretty sure almost nobody expected this to happen in 2018 a year ago....
