Dare I say if sony drops the price officially to $199 globally around january 2019 and further drops it by $50 around november next year it could actually go on to have its best year ever.

I don't doubt this at all. Sony is in an incredible position. They can either sit on $299.99/$399.99 and soak up profits to cover PS5 R&D, or if they want to ramp up sales, they can drop to $199.99/$299.99. I've been saying that all generation. Sony has so much potential with PS4, it is just a matter of how they want to play.

Next year could be very interesting. $199.99/$299.99 in the Spring. PS4 Super Slim/PS4 Pro Slim in the Fall. $149.99/$249.99 Black Friday. Days Gone, Ghost of Tsushima, The Last of Us Part 2, Dreams, and Death Stranding. I don't see any reason why Sony can't give PS4 its best year ever in 2019. 

 

As for this years number. Great news for all three company's.  Really happy to see XBO doing so well after everything they have done with the platform over the last 12 months. XBO X and Game Pass are the reason I finally re-entered the Xbox ecosytem this year. Switch and PS4 continue to ride their success, can't disagree with the likes of Smash Ultimate, God of War, Pokemon Let's Go, Spider-Man, and everything on PSVR leading the way.
