So PS4 currently leads for 670k,

Switch should not have any problem taking year, Switch should will probably have at least around 2m December, and PS4 will probably be below 1.2m.

I don't know about that. Last year Switch had the huge sales from Cyber Monday to boost its sales by a lot.  This year CM was included in Nov.  I see it doing 1.4M-1.6M.  PS4 will probably be around 1M, unless Sony does some kind of deal for Dec. I think Sony will keep the year, but just barely.

Looks like SONY still has some serious PS4 stock issues. Or they only wanted to sell that many for 200$. Still managed to win.

Looks like they put out just enough to win the month by a comfortable margin. I wonder if this has to do with focusing on profit, or they are scaling PS4 production down slightly. They originally only predicted 17M (or was it 16M?) shipped this FY.  They had to up it to 17.5M recently, and may actually end up with 18M shipped.

What a pleasant surprise. Today I went on the internet with high hopes and was satisfied to see that the Los Angeles Chargers won last night.

But man, those 3DS sales are much lower than I expected. I guess every kid that is old enough to name what Nintendo console they want says Switch, plus all the parents are able to afford such a purchase, thanks to Trump's positive effect on the economy.

She had a good run. Next year will probably be her last.

I think some of you are overestimating Cyber Monday being in the November tracking period when it comes to Switch, I dont think it's going to make a huge difference.
