Hard to say, it seems like things were off to a flying start with the PS4 and then perhaps less growth yoy than some expected. The One hasn't really achieved lift-off yet but it's should have growth for at least a year or two more, the Wii U is the easiest to predict at this point; it's not really going anywhere.

My guess would be something akin to:

PS4: 90-100 million.

One: 50-60 million.

Wii U: 17-19 million.

Which leaves a total of about 160-180 million when all is said and done. I expect the PS4 and One to have fairly standard yoy growth rates with possible peak years in their 3rd CY or so, but I think the One will have the bigger growth in percentages relative to the smaller base numbers we're seeing, I think there is no chance of my previous estimate of 70% of the PS4's LT sales for the One coming true; they were too late with removing Kinect (would have been better if it was never mandatory to begin with) and becoming competitive on price and their major system sellers are yet to show for now.
I expect both the One and PS4 to taper off a lot more quickly than the PS3 and 360 did and their peak years to be a lot earlier on in the lifecycle.
I still think the Wii U will be replaced by holidays 2016, a belief I've had for some time and even way before any NX rumors surfaced, this will, of course, seriously reduce its chances of selling as much as the Gamecube (as an example) and I think that 20 million is a fever dream at this point, it has been 2.5 years already and it's not even halfway there.
