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.

The PS4 came out very strong, there is no doubt. However at this point in time in 07 the Wii had sold 9 million and was averaging 250 thousand a week in June. The PS4 didn't even break 100k for July 5 and has only been averaging a little over 100k per week for june.

Yeah and the wii fail like a rock after the forth year, the ps4 will probably peak in it's fith year like the ps3 did. People are seeing the ps4 numbers in the slowest part of the year and they are all ''OMG teh ps4 is doomed'', what will you all say when sale start peeking up big time after september?

What makes you think that? Why would it peak then? The PS3 was a very different beast than the PS4 and there are no similarities in the release structure.
