The PS4 managed to finish slightly up YoY in U.S. from 5304k to 5330k, so the incredible 1st party support this year + RDR2 made a difference in one region at least.

On Era they are saying it's down 2% YoY, not that it matters, its statistical noise so essentially flat for the year which is pretty damn good for the 5th year.

Switch quite a bit below expectations for most predictors here. PS4 and XB1 slightly below expectations for most here.

Quite the sad month.

As for me, Switch is spot on to my expectations, while the PS4 and XB1 did terribly. Quite the collapse they had this month.

Rather bad numbers all around. Basically everything is way below expectations, and both PS4 and XBO numbers are really bad for a December. I mean, when was the last time either did below 1M in December?

So about 50K difference? Statistically speaking, that's nothing,but in real terms, that's still a lot.

Even though it did less than expected, Switch had the best month of any console/handheld in 8 years so I dont see how that can be considered bad.

Yeah, expectations have been badly skewed by the hype. 1.77 to 1.8 mil is big. Markedly bigger than the PS4's best December. And Switch's Nov+Dec 2018 has tied PS4's 2015. It is a strong performance.
