The PS2 still sold 130M + if you don't include the JP sales. PS4 hasn't lost Japan. Japanese gamers simply don't have any reason to buy one just yet with loads of JRPGs still releasing on PS2. Once the heavy hitting JRPGs start coming only on PS4, Japanese gamers will hop on board.
OT - I can see the PS4 shooting past 100M. It just needs big AAA exclusives combined with strong third party support like the PS2 had. PS4 is doing far better than the PS3 was at this point in it's life because it took forever for most of it's big AAA exclusives to release, and MS used easy-to-develop-for hardware and an earlier release to garner better third party support last gen. PS4, so far, has neither of those issues. SWS just take a while to start releasing, but once they do, they pour in. PS3 was doing 150K a week at it's peak. PS4 is far from it's peak. Lets not forget it's managing to maintain a 100K + per week, despite having few AAA exclusives already released or releasing in the near future. The system will start it's real snowball when more JRPGs and the Destiny Bundle release. Not to mention, the likes of Bloodborne and Uncharted 4 are guarenteed system sellers.

Ps4 hasn't been able to do a steady 100k for like a month. but I agree it's far from its peak. I I think people are betting way to much on blood borne. Honestly destiny seems like a bigger seller for ps4

Only because of the severe drought it's seeing ATM, while Wii-U has MK8 to help push sales, and XBone is still thriving from the price drop. Regardless of all that PS4 is still on top and did good in the June NPD.
As far as games, of course titles like UC4 and Destiny are going to be far bigger system sellers, but BloodBorne still got a pretty good ammount of attention at E3, and the fact that people know it's from the creators of Demon's Souls/ Dark Souls will guarentee that it sells respectably at launch so long as it can back itself up with good review scores.
