The problem with all discussions about lifetime sales of consoles is that there is no longer a standard definition of what constitutes a generation. If Sony never releases a console called PlayStation 5, and simply continues to upgrade every few years, then you are obviously going to be correct at 130, or even 200 million. But, if the next console release represents the end of this current generation, 130 million seems unlikely.
