All signs point to a shorter Generation though, I'd say around 85m if it's a 5 year Gen like i'm expecting, if it ends up being as long as last gen then, id say about 110-115million

Even if it's a 5 year generation it doesn't mean sales won't keep going as they did for PS1 & PS2.  Almost half of PS2's lifetime shipments were after PS3 released.

PS4 is ~10 Million units ahead of PS2 at the same point in time.  It's not too crazy to expect it to hit 100 Million within 5 years, and then keep going.
