Hmmmm...... alright, have a look at this:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/2664337.stm

34 months after the launch of the PS2 in Japan (March 2000-January 2003), the system had reached 50 million. The PS4 has been on the market for 26 months (on Jan 15). So, it would need to sell 14 million units by September. Can it do it? Anyone?

If we are going not exact months by end of the year PS4 will certainly be ahead of PS2 by 3-5M still on Jan 2017. 14M until September is very unlikely.

Unless they drop to $299.99, Uncharted 4 makes the world explode, or release a slimmer version in August (in time for Gamescom), I agree. 14 million is a stretch. I can see 46-47 million by then, however, but for those saying it will fall behind the PS2 this year, I'm inclined to agree.

Being PS4 shipped numbers likely 38M I beieve 12M is a possibility to reach by September end.
