Doing maths with PS4, I'm starting to believe PS4 will reach 20M sold this year too. PS4 sold around 9M the last 3 months of last year. I expect PS4 selling even more this year, maybe around 10M, according to this site PS4 near 84M at the end of september, so that will put PS4 near 94M total sales lifetime. According to Sony PS4 sold 73'6M by the end of 2017, so that means another 20M selling year for PS4...and everyone is disussing about PS5 being next year.....HA!.

You do realize that the state of sales has zilch to do with when a predecessor launches, right?  Both the PS1 and PS2 sold 20M+ the year before their successors launched.  If Sony can get enough usable chips, and at an affordable price, they will launch in 2019.  If not, they will hold off until 2020.

I know I know, yesterday i was looking for shipments numbers of ps1,ps2 and ps3 so i knew about it. In fact I was #team2019 until the E3 news.I still expect PS5 announced next year, now launching in spring 2020 maybe. But it's funny how people, all of us, myself included have our minds more in the future than in the present. My "HA!" was cynical but in other context.
