Well it really depends on whether we're looking at an ordinary 7 year lifecycle and how the transition from PS5 to the hypothetical PS6 will be. I think that a year down the line from now it will stop gaining ground compared to the PS4 launch aligned and that it might lose its lead in the long run. Then if it gets replaced after the usual 7 years I expect it to finish very close to the PS4.
Just for fun let's make a super specific prediction and say 118 mil.

With the supply shortages, Sony is hoping to just beat out PS4's first full fiscal year of 14.8 million shipped. April 2014 to March 2015 for PS4 and April 2021 to March 2022 for PS5. 

Yup, they're clearly not going to be able to do a ton more, but I do expect them to beat it.
