I'd say between 110 and 120 million is more likely.

Both predictions will prove too low.

If the PS5 flops and people continue buying the PS4 instead, yes.

Otherwise, it's getting tough to imagine the PS4 still selling over 120M. It's already close to 2M down compared to same time last year (2M should be reached in 2 weeks), and the gap keeps growing faster. Even a $100 cheaper Superslim could only do so much anymore, and the longer it takes before it's getting released, the harder it will get to get to 120M and over.

For the record, I expect the PS4 to sell another 7M (without a Superslim) to 9M (with a superslim releasing this year), making it 12-14M for this year and 104-106M total sales. Next year, with the PS5 reveal, I expect the sales to come crashing down to about 6-7M, so 110M-113M, and an additional 4-5M after that, so 114M-118M total. Not far below the 120M, mind you, but not past it either.
