75-100m, about the same as the PS3. I think a fair amount of people will just get a Switch only or use Gamepass only and that will cause a decrease in the Playstation userbase.

That's a wild prediction.

So 87m units would mean the PS5 will only sell another 77 million units or so over the next lets say 6 years?

How would a breakdown of yearly sales even look in that scenario? We know they plan to sell 22.6 million units in 2022, but to only reach 77 million units you would have to expect them to massively (half?) miss their sales mark? Or do you expect sales to slump from the fastest selling PlayStation console ever to the slowest?

Given we now have some solid sales history with the PS5, its already approaching 10 million units, and currently sold out worldwide, you would have to predict sales really falling off a cliff to not reach past the PS3 lifetime.

Keep in mind who you're responding to. Liquid-Laser is well known for being weirdly silly when it comes to Sony.
