It's already at about 5m in those combined and should be over 7m by the end of this year so I don't see how it could fail to do another 10m in the next few years after doing 7m in just two.

Your numbers assume that people in Japan and RoW want the PS5 as much as they want the PS4.  The reality is that they don't.

Those numbers assume that PS5 isn't just going to fall of a cliff in terms of demand in 2023 when its actual system sellers arrive & in future years when it has price cuts/hardware revisions. If its alredy sold 5m in 18months supply constrained, full price and with barely any next gen exclusives exclusives, Its hard to imagine selling less than 15m over 7 years.

Up until now, 95% of games have been cross gen. Were seeing the end of that with Resident Evil 4 remake, Avatar, Gotham knights, Forspoken, Final Fantasy XVI, Spiderman 2, suicide Squad, Final Fantasy, knights of the old Republic, VII Rebirth and they'll be much more.  But we think sales are going to nose dive? 

I feel like people are more projecting their personal feelings onto the PS5 versus just making reasonable projections of its performance thus far & what's yet to cone software wise etc . Anyway, if that's your projection we'll wait and see.
