I don't think PS5 will even overtake PS4 nor will it come close. 

And you are right that it's definitely too early to tell going by the data.  Launch data is basically useless in determining lifetime sales.  Wait until Dec 31, 2021 for PS5 and compare it to Dec 31, 2014 for PS4.  That will give a pretty good indication how PS5 is going to do, either in Japan or worldwide.

It will be interesting.  Maybe I just undersold Nintendo as a brand, but when the Switch was announced I was expecting 30 to 50 million sold worldwide.  Needless to say, the Switch has decimated my expectations.  Fricking wild fire, and while the Wii hit a brick wall and dropped in sales, the Switch doesn't appear to be slowing much.  Nintendo has a crazy winner on their hands.  A Switch 2 in a few years that is fully BC is a no brainer.  

Well, with Nintendo being Nintendo I expect a SwitchU which totally tanks. Nintendo can sometimes hit the need of the market perfect, and then turns around to make something completely stupid.
