Playstation would destroy Apple,Samsung and Amazon consoles

PS will destroy those consoles.  That's not my point.  The title of the thread is asking whether PS4 can get to 100 million.  PS will likely still sell the most but those potential new consoles will dent away PS console sales.

Of course new consoles will dent sales, but that isn't the point, either (since that's always been the case). For the PS4 to not reach 100 million, it would have to have the sharpest drop off of a PlayStaton, yet (keep in mind it's not only the fastest selling PlayStation, it's also the fastest selling console of all time). I don't see that happening.

By the release of PS5 i think ps4 will be close to 100 millions maybe 10 millions behind and will surely do that in the next 4 years.

My english is not that good so what dent sales mean? Does it mean those new consoles will stole some ps4 sale?If yes i'm sure this consoles will stole nothing from ps4.

For us to have another generation like the sixth (where PS2 basically carried that whole generation), we'd need a console that really tapped into some kind of essential selling point that was comparable to the PS2's DVD player (which was a HUGE deal back when the console came out). There's nothing like that in this generation, as indicated by the fact that there's not really a breakaway success, sales-wise, this generation. The 3DS has a considerable lead but its week-to-week sales are about even with PS4 now.

Couple that with my point in my previous post (this generation as a whole is not moving consoles anywhere NEAR as fast as last gen), and I doubt we'll see any console come close to 100m this generation. Not unless one console starts running ahead like crazy, at the expense of the other four. I don't see that happening.

I don't think DVD was the direct reason why ps2 sold like that DVD is the reason why Playstation 2 got better support then their competitors

this gen it seem that ps4 will get support without something like DVD even if DVD help sold a lot of ps2 i doubt it's make more then 50 millions gamers buy a ps2.

Ps4 is already sold the double of X1 until now and weekly it outsell it by 2 and sometimes 3 times more the X1 and Wii u  so how ps4 is not running of them.Handheld and home consoles are not the same things so they will not affect each other.
