it will fall alot in 4 years when the ps5 comes out. the ps4 cant sell 100m+ in 5 years of life.
the hardware is just to weak...

I'm quite sure the PS2 was a lot weaker at its launch than the PS4 is right now. I mean, for a PC player at this time, the PS2 games just looked like shit. I had 8 times as much video memory, with bump map and texture compression.
On the contrary Killzone on PS4 looks quite good, looks quite good compared to PC, and will still look good in 5 years, even if outdated. So I don't think the hardware will be a reason for a quick launch of the PS5.

the ps2 was realy cheap and was a dvd player(when vhs was dieing and nobody had a dvd player). and they never talkd so much about the graphic(because the ps2 was the weakest of the 3 survivers).

and killzone looks okay. good for a console, thats for sure.  i mean some firstparty ps3 titles still look okay if compared to some ps4 3rd party games.

Here, you are now 100% talking about the launch of the PS2, the vhs area, dvd player. And Sony did talk a lot about graphics. They've even shown fake video to prove its power, and that's quite famous.

We were not talking about the launch, because the PS4 has an excellent launch that matches the PS2 launch.

What we were talking about is : is it possible to sell for more than 5 years with a weak hardware and a good launch ? Yes it is, the PS2 did it, and not just with a weak hardware, but with a massively outdated hardware at day 1. And, I can't see any reason for the PS4 not to do it with a tremendously better hardware (compared to PC at respective launch).
