It's time to accept that the PS4 won't beat the PS2 numbers

Yes it is but we dont know how long this generation will last ultimately. I doubt it would last past 5 years TBH as these consoles are already under powered compared to that of PC. This was not an issue during at the start-mid years of last generation as the cnosoles were equivalent or perhaps slightlymore powerful then the PC's during this time frame, thus implying a longer generation for developers to utlise the full potential

IMO this generation will last around 5 years max, depends on when devs start screaming to MS and SONY for more power etc. This will happen as already 1080p 60fps is already a stretch for the more "powerful" ps4, let alone the X1. In saying this the ps4 can still notch up impressive numbers during this time

5 years is enough for it go past 80M at the rate it is selling at full price.

There are 61,5M left. For 4 years, that's an average of 15,375M a year. If it sold +14M in a year with full price and none of its bigger exclusives, that average is guaranteed. Then you add the cooling off period where consoles (specially Sony's) still sell decently after a new gen starts and it goes well beyond 80M.
