Why is that a excessively high expectation of PS4 sales?

End of next year its gonna be 75m or so.... thats in early 2018.

Then 2018,2019... Its gonna be 100m+ before the Playstation 5 launches.

Even then, it will continue to sell afterwards.... maybe not 30m though?

Depends on how big the games library is, what kinda support it gets after PS5 launch, and what price Sony gets PS4 down too.

I wouldnt say 120m is unrealistic though, the PS4 might actually end up around there.

The PS3 is the  less successful Sony's console and, even so, it sold over 90 millions of units lifetime. I don't know why some people thinks that it won't outsell the Wii and break the 100 millions mark.

I honestly don't get it either. There is absolutely nothing that suggests the PS4 can't "comfortably" break the 100M mark. So far it has broken every prediction made against it. Just think back at 2013. If anyone came and said that the PS4 would sell 54M in a little over 3yrs they would have called him crazy. 

Like i don't get it. The PS2, the best selling console of all time took exactly 3yrs to ship 51M+ consoles worldwide. The PS4 has sold through to consumers 50M consoles in the same time frame. I am really curious to know what kinds reasoning will make anyone even now think the PS4 can't hit 100M easy.
