Maybe, I think it has a very good shot. It basically just depends on when the PS5 launches.

PS4 should be at least 70 Million sold through by end of 2017.... 85 million 2018? 95+ million 2019? 

It's not going to immediately stop selling when ps5 launches either, assuming PS5 doesn't launch till Holiday 2019 I'd be surprised if it didn't reach the 100 million mark.

PS4 Pro will extend the life of the generation a little. But I don't think we're going to get a lifespan as long as the 7th gen. Because PS4 (and Scoprio) can't deliver Native 4K on AAA titles but they are delivering upscaled 4K they will manufacture demand for true 4K and thus bring on the 9th generation. Which still will only be able to deliver native 4K on AA titles, but not AAA. 

100 million is possible, but unlikely.

I wonder if this puts PS4 at 2:1 over Xb one? Probably not, I imagine Black Friday put Xb one over 25 million if it wasn't already there before BF.

 I feel like native 4K is going to be the standard resolution for PS5, in the same that 1080p was for PS4. Performance-wise, we'll probably see 60 FPS with upscaled 4K for games like Battlefield, and then 4K/ 60 FPS for multiplayer. I sincerely doubt that Sony is going to try to kickstart the 4K age on consoles, and not try to make it a standard on their next console iteration. PS5 will be very interesting.
