Even if the PS5 comes in 2019, it ll do over 100m.

This fiscal year they are saying 18m+.

That means March 2018, it ll be around 78m+ shipped.

Lets say it does another 17m the next fiscal year.

That means March 2019, it ll be around 95m+ shipped.

Before the holidays where the PS5 would launch... it would have shipped 100m.

Also sales dont just stop once a new console releases, it ll keep selling abit for a few years.

Yeah, specially Sony consoles, which have much longer legs than Nintendo consoles, for instance.

The PS3 would still ship 50 million consoles after 11 quarters.

The PS2 sold nearly 82 million after March 2004, and nearly 40 million of those after the PS3 launched.

Oh the same mistake...

PS3 was a late bloomer, didn't have the legs many people think...

PS3 was released at the whopping 599$ , as expected  it sold very bad at that price, its price fell to 499$ ( 2007 ) after one year and little improvement in sales, then 399$ again after  one year  ( 2008 ) and it  started  selling somewhat well! Sony released ps3 slim ( which ditched the expensive components of the previous model ) in 2009 and ps3 sales exploded...

That situation is what let ps2 to keep selling extremely well , but it collapsed the year that sony launched ps3 slim.

PS2 was costing 99$ when ps3 was released at 599$! Even with the initial ps2 price, their price difference is huge! For reference PS2 had the same launch price with ps1 and ps4 only 100$ more.

Of course
