The Playstation 4 is going to sell, what 130 million+ units? I doubt Sony really gives two shits about someone talking down their success in the business lol. Their network services have years where they're making more than XBox or Nintendo's entire game divisions. They're probably doing something right. 

130M+? Not like this.

PS4 sales are way down already from last year, and continue to drop fast. Unless the PS5 is a massive flop at launch which makes people buy the current gen instead, the PS4 won't get past 125M. At the end of the year the console will be at around 116M with sales dropping fast and that will just accelerate with the arrival of the PS5, especially with the latter being backwards compatible, thus eliminating the need to buy a PS4 for PS4 games.

PS5 is also likely going to be $500 and PS4 probably eventually gets cut to $250. The next-gen consoles are not going to be cheap. 

If you don't want to spend that kind of money for a dedicated home console for all the modern types of games, PS4 is still quite attractive and will likely have major cross platform titles well into 2022. Like Square-Enix has already said Final Fantasy VII Remake Part II will be for sure on the original PS4 among other systems.
