Well PS4 won't stop selling after PS5 releases, but yes, by current situation I expect PS4 to reach 120Mm at most 130M. PS3 died quicker after PS4 released because its gen was very long and it never got to the 100-150 pricepoint really. PS4 may achieve that. PS1 and PS2 both sold very large amounts after successor release.

But I agree with you that Sony launching on others territories later in the lifetime than they do now will probably make the tail smaller as well.

Well i did say PS2 was the ceiling. I was pretty certain shortly after launch that 100m was certain. I think we can all agree it's now pretty much a lock. It seems to be trending above the PS2 atm and i'm sure it will continue to sell pretty well after the PS5 is launched. Although i wasn't aware PS2 entered into untapped markets after PS5 release. Markets which are now not untapped. So maybe reaching PS2 numbers may be unattainable but i would guess 130m+  is entirely possible. Especially after these surprising sales at the back end of this year!

130 imho is possible but unlikely.

10-15y ago the landscape was very different so to go for developing country they wait for the price to be rock bottom to have enough market.
