And besides, this year there wasn't any deals in December like last year, so it was sold at 300$ all the month. If PS4 has sold between 700k-1M it should be fine. Benji and other insiders are focused in US sales and that's why they sound a little down, but people have to accept PS relies less in US than Nintendo and Xbox. PS4 still sold a lot in December worldwide. The hard fact is that last year PS4 sold 5'9M and this year 5'6M in the same period of time. That's all you need to know.

5.9M to 5.6M what a big drop from the cliff =p

People had very bad memory in these kind of forums. People (and some very important insiders) ,12 months ago, were expecting Switch to dominate and PS4 to drop to pre 2015 levels. Then Switch sold more than PS4 in NPD January 2018 and with LABO coming and Smash announced with serious doubts about GOW launch, people started dooming PS4 more than ever. But here we are and we can see PS4 still has sold a lot, most probably more than any other competitor (or kind of competitor if you want ) and is on pace to be the fastest home console reaching 100M sold. 

So yes, we should expect PS4 droping in sales this year, of course, but PS4 is not going to drop from a cliff in 2019. Going from 20M in 2017 to 18M in 2018 to 16-17M in 2019 is the best thing a home console entering its 6th year can possibly do.
