They're past 55 million and haven't even dropped to $250 yet nor has a new GTA game come out. 

I don't think PS5 is coming out any time soon either, it doesn't benefit Sony, they have this generation on lock and now it's time to harvest the benefits of that. Plus PS4 Pro also downplays the need for a PS5 anytime soon. 

Even if PS5 launched in 2019, I think PS4 would sell for quite a while longer, the graphics capability of that device are more than good enough for most people and the library will be hard to beat by the PS5 for years. 

Well its hard to say at this point. The Pro was not needed at all, but Sony seemed to think so. Im not so sure they are going to be comfortable with MS having the most powerful console on the market. Even if the PS4 sells 1 million consoles a month, it will still take them almost 4 years to reach 100M. Its possible sure, but I dont think they will just easily glide past it.

Microsoft has to start outselling Sony, and I'm not really convinced that's going to happen anytime soon. The most MS can do is make Sony sweat a bit in the US, but Europe and Japan .... not even a prayer. 

Most people buying a sysetm now are going to choose the system their friends have because they want to play online with their friends. Well that's the PS4 overwhelmingly ... so Sony doesn't have a lot to worry about. MS getting the graphics crown is too little, too late, they should have thought of that 4 years ago when it could have made a difference for them.
