Honestly with how Sony is winding down PS4 hardware so much, 2021 could be the final year PS4 sells over a million units. It will probably manage a few million by the time this year is over. And then probably about half a million to three-quarters of a million in 2022. Then really low after that.

It looks like PS4 will outsell Game Boy+Game Boy Color, but not near as easily as we thought. Until about nine or so months ago, it seemed like the PS4 could reach 125-130 million lifetime sales.

It's already cleared 115m (and should settle around 125m, give or take - which is within range of the most logical predictions). Doesn't have to do more, particularly when its predecessor is breaking all of its early records as it is.  

Not sure about the 10m (approx) to reach 125m with it clocking in around 40k on a good week nowadays. Still before the PS5's release and Sony demonstrating that (unlike PS4 software) it was no longer interested in PS4 hardware by cutting back production and no price cuts, I would have said it was a deadset certainty and that 125m was the baseline, anyway a base figure around 120m is still great considering Sony's lack of end gen support is most likely going to be the difference between the 130-145m lifetime predictions and where it ends up. also with a lot of people seeing Sony's end of gen history as a positive factor that was something most didn't predict.
