100m will be tough I think, but perhaps doable. Alot depends on rather or not CoD games after 2023 are exclusive, or if CoD stays multiplat after the acquisition closes. With CoD exclusivity, I feel like 100m may be in reach possibly, but without it, best case scenario is probably beating Xbox 360's 85m by a small margin, 90m is probably the upper threshold for Xbox Series without CoD exclusivity from 2024 onward.

I know odds aren't that amazing. Before the Activision Blizzard acquisition I was predicting Xbox Series X|S to sell 70-80 million lifetime. Even if CoD doesn't become exclusive, Xbox would become the lead platform with marketing rights, getting DLC first, and possibly having some exclusive content.

Just from a subjective standpoint, if you are at all interested in western AAA games output I don’t know why you would be on anything other than an Xbox or gaming PC as your primary machine from 2023 onward. You are going to have the entire Zenimax and ABK back catalog on gamepass, plus most of the EA back catalog and an increasing amount of Ubisoft. 

Unless you are a super fan of Sony first party or only play Japanese games the value proposition looks competitively really bad for Sony
