Not in its first year on market.
Its sales would jump from 70k-120k obviously excluding the holiday anf major releases... The PS4 so far has been selling better and more consistently based on hype and cross gen/multiplatform releases (watchdogs, Fifa, COD). I imagine its sales will peak far above the PS3's peak once next gen exclusive games get released on it. Also Microsoft isn't as much competition, so it should steal more of the market if things continue along this trajectory.
Lets not forget that with PS4 sony could actually reach $199 before 2017, its already selling at a profit at $399 according to sony.
Finally, I can' t see the PS4 having a shorter shelf life then 7 years. If anything this is the generation where we may finally see 0.5 type console relaunch, with sony or microsoft releasing souped up version of the ps4 or Xbox One, fully backwars compatible to try and compete with mid-range PC benchmarks in few years from now.
