..... That was not a quarterly company sales, that was just an anoucemnet from a conference called CES where Sony uses to announce some info about their products. That in that case as explained in a very detailed article that they released was SOLD TO CONSUMERS. Those 18M were units sold to consumers for all the year 2018, in almost a month Nintendo and Sony will give their official shipment sales. Those will be shipments and they will use the term SOLD, despite being shipments, because is SOLD to RETAILERS.

Lol ahhhhhh thanks!

So that's why you should expect something like 8-8'5M SOLD TO RETAILERS in Q3 for PS4 and maybe 9-10M SOLD TO CONSUMERS for Switch in Q3. Take into consideration that shipment sales use Fiscal Year for their quarters, so it goes from March to March. 

If PS4 has sold 91'6M to consumers until Dec 31 2018, we should expect around 94-95M PS4 shipped lifetime until then, and if my theory is correct and Switch sells to consumers around 16M during 2018, it means it will be around 29M sold to consumers lifetime at the end of 2018, so probably around 32M shipped for Switch at the end of 2018.

Nintendo is trying to ship almost 38M by the end of March, 20M during end of March 2018- end of March 2019 (Fiscal Year 2018).
