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

This argument doesn't really make sense. The ps4 is selling better than the ps3. I'm not sure if the ps4 will sell that well either, but I don't see how this argument proves it at all. Most weeks the ps3 didn't do 150k. Holiday sales make up a massive amount of sales, so we won't really be able to guess how well the ps4 might sell until holiday season.

PS3 had a really slow start

That doesn't change the fact that the ps4 is one of the fastest (I think the fastest) selling console of all time. I think the ps4 is going to have a shorter life cycle, and that's why it won't break 100 million. And you're not paying attention to my comment. The ps3 almost never sold 150k a week. So the biggest point you're making isn't accurate.

It was the fastest selling at launch, not anymore
PS4 is not doing great, it is doing fine along with the 3DS. The only reason people think its doing amazing is because of the sales of Xbox One, Wii U, and PSV

Its slowed down because thats how the yearly cycle works. And while its not doing amazing, its lowest weekly is 98k compared to PS3 which was doing 60-116k during the same period in its first year.
What matters is the yearly peaks at december and it took PS3 3 years to get past 660k sales per week near december. The PS4 will be doing way more than that every december for the next 6 years and non holiday sales will get better when the true next gen games start coming out and it gets a price drop.
