PS3 + XBox 360 sales = 160 million

Even if all of those customers decide to buy a PS4 (unlikely to happen) you're still 40 million short. Where are those customers going to come from? It's not going to be from people who bought a Wii (we now they don't care about how powerful a console is, they wouldn't have bought a Wii if they did).

In the same genaration the Wii sold 105 million. In this I don't see the WiiU passing 50 million. And now that China is once again open as a videogame market, anything can happen. I'm not saying the PS4 will do 200 but it sure as hell can pull PS1 numbers, even PS2.

PS4 has sold 4.6m. In the same time frame XB1 has sold 3.2m and Wii U 1.6m. The PS4 was supply constrained and hasn't been released in Japan yet, so let's assume that it could have sold 6m by now. With that assumption and also assuming that they keep selling in those proportions, and the PS4 sells 150m (lots of assumptions!) then XB1 would sell 80m and Wii U 40m. It might happen, but I don't think it will.
