None of each makes much sense, since PS4 will probably have crossed 100M shipped by the time Sony announces PS5, probably even being quite near to selling through 100M.

And that's what I was saying, even if PS5 gets announced and released this year it will pass 100m by the end of the year.

Let's take the regular premises of console sales we have seem so far.

PS4 sold 91.6M and 2-3M in the channels as regular for holiday season.

Let's expect PS4 to sell 15M in 2019. With about 1/3 of it until middle of the year where E3 would happen (even Sony not participating I wouldn't expect Sony to release info on PS5 before it to release next year, and if they intended to launch PS5 this year they would be on E3, and they haven't made 18 months to reveal to release before).

So 91.6+2+5 =98.6M

So pretty big chance PS4 cross 100M shipped before PS5 is even announced. And I think Feb-May 2020 is more likely for the reveal of PS5 and launch in holiday. If they want to copy nintendo then Reveal in PSX in December and launch in March-May. In this situation PS4 would already have sold through 100M before PS5 reveal.
