Did you not laugh at me the other day for saying PS4 is going to do 16M this year?? . Don't get me wrong, i'm saying that in a good mood, so i want to ask you again if you think i'm going to be wrong, because if i remember correctly, you expected 15M at most didn't you?

I really think PS4 is going to do 16M with or without price cut, and Switch is not going to do so much better as most people are expecing. I expecting an adjustment for Switch in 2018 being more like 16'5M in 2018, and something like 17'5-18M in 2019. So, if in the improbable situation that Sony did a huge price cut for PS4, PS4 would be very close to those numbers too in my opinion (but it won't happen in my opinion). 2019 software for PS4 is going to be legendary and if TLOU II launches this year.....buff.

It depends. Profit is indeed bound with sales . We are so late in this gen, and late adopters are typically not the biggest buyers, few mills hardly make a difference. Any difference.

Looking at it from bussines POV, the issue is simple, PS4 did reach its target sales, it is confirmed, Switch is in unknown position, Xbox is Xbox to be diplomatic.

The real money is software, the PS4 dominates it all ways around on this site, aaaand.... its software sales is undertracked by over 200 million.

The PS4 is the biggest winner this gen, it took the HW sales crown day1, it took the multiplatform sales as well ( last gen multiplats sold more on 360 generally ), and royalties is money to the hands for nothing, eh, and they got that digital sales bonus, the sales of Sony games is simply a dream comes true, and it will get only better, they are reaching  the Nintendo levels slowly. The best things console market has is now in Sony's hands.

Perhaps u are not that old bag as me, I remember well the PS360 days, for me this is magic, I remember that PARTY threads when 360 was 5 mils above PS4 that launch a year later, and stuff...

Sometimes I wonder - where is my party now?

Hahaha, i'm an old bag myself too here. I remember the times from last gen, when in Jan or Feb there were huge, and i mean HUUUUUUUGE adjustments for Wii, X360 and PS3, even in the millions.

This gen has become more boring because it has been clearly dominated by PS4, and i think the next one is going to be the same...

Not only that PS4 was overtaken by Switch at the end of 2018 after leading all they through the whole year. 

Look like we think the same. The ppl saying the MS will be better prepared this time forget the Sony will be aswell.

I am curious what future has in store for Switch/Nintendo. 

Out of curiosity - what are the yearlies for both?

Switch and nintendo will do fine. Their success seems independent of Sony and Microsoft war and ultimately is based on internal hardware and software ideals for success and failure.

The problem I have with Nintendo consoles, they always seem like one-trick pony to me. Alright, they kinda merged handheld/home console with Switch ( but the latter lags behind big time ), Switch is selling good, but still, the sales of the separate home consoles and handhelds are untouchable.

The Switch's succes so far, seems more like Wii U failure/3DS dying effect, than its own achievement. 

Of course not, Switch is the best-selling console of 2018. Fantastic result considering the majority didn't think it would happen just a few months back.

I'm strictly talking about December, the 18% is comparing  December 2018 to December 2017. 

I disagree but I do not have the time to formulate an argument. Simple response is that this is unique to both 3ds and Wii u as it is very strong and capable device that doesn't trip over itself and has strong compelling software
