Yes I expected 110M area as well. But I agree that considering this year 130M isn't impossible (still unlikely). But it's great how our perspective changes.

WiiU expected to be a sucess, X1 to dominate and PS4 to die fast. Then Switch to do bad, PS4 to win and X1 to have less than 70% of X360 sales. And now Switch to be massive sucess and PS4 to approach PS2.

Yep, that was the normal consensus, and since first 2 years of X1 was resonably so if it done around 60-70M PS4 could get to 100-120M at most... but perhaps the mid gen can help the X1+PS4 to increase over the previous combos.

It could be perfectly possible that both PS4 and Switch easily clear 100m consoles sold and in some ways it would put some of the arguments to bed. We  can all agree they both did great but unfortunately that won't happen for years!

Will take time for Switch to be 100M, but next year we will have a better view of how likely is it to happen.

I remember the days that anyone remotely thinking PS4 could reach PS2 numbers were called crazy here... but this year a lot of people are thinking the realm of PS2 (130+M) is possible.

But again 130m+ and 155m+ is not same, PS4 is at around 70m after full 4 years on market, hardly can sell 80m+ in next 4 years.

Sure 130 and 155M isn't the same. But 3 years ago even 100M was hardly accepted as a LT to PS4.
