Well it will pass it (wii in the long run), If not that is a scary thought. Still very much doubt it will reach ps2/ds numbers without Japan being as strong as it once was, even with the Europe/Other making the different. 

I agree the only way it could not reach 100m is if this gen is very short.  However I'm not with most people in that the earliest I see PS5 launching is 2019.

Hey, I'm with you on that one.  In fact, I think that would be the perfect time to launch it, since it will mark the PS's 25th anniversary.  I can imagine the ads.  It first shows PS5, then the S flips and turns into a 2 to celebrate 25 years. Or vice versa.

I think MS will try to launch early, again, and if they haven't bowed out by the end of this gen, since that helped them with the 360.  However, the PS5 will most likely be more powerful, but just like the PS4 and unlike the PS3, it won't be very expensive at launch.  Another $399 launch price, but probably 4x-5x as powerful as the PS4, would be perfect.

yeah I think it'll be later this time but given the larger install base of PS4 going in compared to the competition and I think they'll have grounded themselves to that price in order to not lose it all again.  Hopefully Cerny designs again.
