Why I don't think the PS4 will pass 100m

Recently with alot of peoples predictions, they said they think will think PS4 will sell over 100 million units

While I admit, the PS4 is doing great but if you look at the sales of the PS3 it was selling 150k every week and that didn't even do 90m, plus it was on the market for 7+ years

The only way I think it can pass 100m is if it is on the market for 9+ years and continues to sell after the PS5 comes out

It's not like the PS3 is over, though. It is still selling and I think by the end of its lifetime it will have over 90 million units sold.

The PS4 has all the cards to be more successful than its predecessor, though. Unlike the PS3, this time it has a lot less competition, since the Xbox One has gathered a poor reputation and the Wii U is struggling to pick up sales. PS3 was competing against two consoles with wide casual appeal last gen.

It's still very early in the generation to be sure of anything, and a lot can change, but I don't think there's anything stopping the PS4 getting to at least 100m.

um, the PS3 will need to sell without dropping what it is now for the next 4-5 years in order to hit 90 mil
