IBM does not publish mainframe sales in dollars.

But they do publish percentage change since last year.

2013	-13.4
2014	-23.3
2015	+28.1
2016	-21.8
2017	+24.0

Not exactly growth (over 5 year it is -17.5%).

Amount wise they do state that in 2017 total systems hardware
sale which includes mainframe, Power and storage was 8.2 B$.

Which is not bad at all. But also rather obvious that
mainframe is not taking over the world from x86-64.
