My logic is that two games aren't going to sell 50 million units of a console that's already been out six and a half years and is getting replaced in six months. Those games will give relatively short-lived bumps in the downward trajectory that's only natural of a console nearing the end of its lifecycle.

It doesn't need to, ps4 has already sold over 111 million, its only 39million more for 150million, and I never said 150 million until end of the year, I said lifetime, as in the next few years.

The PS4 is on a downward trend. It went from 17.8m to 13.6m between fiscal years, that's a  23.5% decrease. Even if COVID (and FFVII:R) is helping its numbers right now that's not going to last indefinitely and it's going to end up down YoY come March 2021. Then for 2021 and forward, while I agree it won't completely crash, it's going to have a sharper decline than right now so when you crunch the numbers 150m is very difficult to achieve and 160m is practically impossible.
