Except that US is not the center of the world, PS4 is doing much better in Europe and the rest of the world, and being first console in US, it will do more than PS3 without a doubt ( PS3 never got COD bundles) since it's already ahead by a considerable amount even there . Unless you think no console will hit 45M this generation while both did last generation ? 

Exatly. PS4 will never break the Wii or 360 numbers in the US. It will sell more than the PS3, but not at Wii360 level. (in the US)

And what X1 numbers do you expect then ?

That's a thing to say it wont break WII/360 numbers even if it could, that's an other to say it wont break PS3 numbers, it's kinda obvious it will by a good amount , consoles are sold by marketing deals mostly, in one year, PS4 has much more sgnificant marketing deals than PS3 ever had. Or you forgot that PS4 is already 3,5M ahead of PS3 in the same time frame ? And the gap will greatly increase this year with all these marketing bundles, PS4 will win by a considerable margin the last 4 months, increasing the gap by 1,2-1,3M at least, so the gap will already be close to 5M.

PS4 would be really unlucky to not reach 40M at the very least in US, it's pretty much a given at this point, especially when you know 2016 will be 2 times bigger than 2015 in terme of big releases.

 

So 100M should be really easy to reach , +10M in US at least, + 10M in Europe ( already tracking 5M ahead of PS3 in the same time frame), and i dont even count the rest of the world . So saying it wont be easy to reach 110M ? Maybe, but 100M will be a joke for PS4
