Because you forgot 22,23,24.
Also I think sales in 2019,2020,2021 will be slightly higher than you.

Im not saying its 100% going to happend, but its not impossible.
This is assumeing the PS4 keeps selling a bit, after the PS5 release.
And the Switch has a normal nintendo system console life cycle (slightly shorter than playstation ones).

135M is very possible;  108M by the end of 2019 is a very easy goal, 14-15M in 2020 as well with a price cut by sept 2019; that makes 122-123M by the end of 2020; PS4 will not magically disappear in 2021 and 2022; even though it will start to fade more and more, 135M is more than a realistic figure if you ask me.

This won't happen even in the best case, PS4 sold 18m units in 2019 which brought LTD to 91.6m units sold. We already know that PS4 is selling 25% less than last year, which means that probably will sell max 14.5m units in the best case. How is it possible that will reach those numbers?

 

EDIT: my mistake, I considered only SOLD numbers and not shipped ones, shame on me
