For comparison this is what other PlayStation consoles shipped after the successor launched:

PS1 - ~29m

PS2 - ~48m

PS3 - 7m

So while the likely 38m it would need to ship after PS5 launches isn't unheard of, I really don't think it can do it. I'll be pleasantly surprised if it manages half of that post-ps5.

A lot of it does depend on the strategy Sony go for I guess.

As this gen have proved, Sony will go for pure profits, not raw sales numbers. I don't expect 50M sold after Nov 2020, or 30, or 20..... If PS4 sells 10-15M more after PS5 launches at 299-249$ they will be happy. 

So my guess is still the same...around 130M sold lifetime, and by far, the most succesful and profitable Playstation console ever.

130M seems very irrational to me. By November 2020, when PS5 launches, PS4's LTD should be around 116-118M. Are you seriously suggesting that PS4 will only sell 12-14M after PS5 launches?
