4) I estimated PS4 to sell a minimum of 122 million by the end of 2020.

Explain to me how the PS4 could do 8M in 2 months, knowing that it is dying, that the Switch is choking it and that the PS5 is going to finish it ?

I cannot explain it because it is THE ONLY inaccurate part of my estimations from way back in 2013, which is admittedly an overestimation by 5-10% by the end of 2020. I had predicted a minimum of 122 million, where the sales currently stand at 114 million (about 7% over estimation currently). PS4 will probably close the year with less than 120 million, so I was off at least by few percentage points, but given that this is a 7 year estimate into the future, and all the abnormalities around the world, I'd say it was still a very sound one. I was spot on about the Xbox sales though :)
