I stand by 105 million or so, surpassing the Wii and PS1. PS5 has direct competition from the Xbox Series S/X which surely will have higher lifetime sales than the Xbox One. Then it has more indirect competition from the Switch, and in another few years or so the Switch's successor (Switch 2? Super Switch?) will be another form of indirect competition.
The PS4 benefitted from the failure of the Wii U and many blunders of the Xbox One. That's why even with the PS5 currently outpacing the PS4, I don't think it's quite enough. The direct and indirect competition is stiffer this time. Also, remember when many of us thought 125-130 million or more for the PS4 was a given? And now it will probably finish with 120 million or a little more. The same thing could happen with the PS5. It could reach around 100 million or less and then only sell 5 million or so units once the PS6 is out. |
No PS4 is not doing 120M. It is clear now that it will fall short. |
It looks like it won't reach 118 million either. The Gameboy is safe at 3rd for now. lol (Switch will pass it).
