it wont. people never remember the fact that the PS2 sold a ton after PS3 release because it was still marketed, it had more support than the PS3 up until 2008 and it was cheap as hell. the PS2 was like 150 dollars and it wasn't an online console

games were cheap, it was a good dvd player, no internet means the games dont mean any less since most games weren't online so they didn't die.

PS4 will sell 110 million. thats around the relative maximum this piece of hardware will sell. nothing significantly more.  tho. my estimate is closer to 105 million.

 

I do hope it sells more but I highly doubt it. unless god of war and the last of us two move an ungodly amount of units which I assume fans of the games already own a ps4 anyway. for the most part

 

online consoles simply won't sell much after their generation is over because they get massively less support. the ps3 support pretty much 100% ended on PS4 relaease and it got like 1 more COD and a cpl sports games but that to be expected. PS2 had god of war 2 post ps3 release and a lot of other exclusives.

Like someone said, 90-95 million is likely by the end of 2018. Could sell between 15-20 million in 2019. And the PS3 sold 8.5 million in 2013 (release year of PS4). I see no reason the PS4 should do less considering the PS4 will be cheaper in 2020 than the PS3 was in 2013. Not to mention the PS3 sold some 10 million units after the PS4 was released and again, I see the PS4 doing better than PS3 post PS5 release.
