With Microsoft providing tougher competition than last gen and Japanese sales being next to pathetic?
I'm gonna call this is a big fat NO.

Sales are still limited by what Sony makes and ships. Technically sales are even more dire in Japan due to third party buyers shipping consoles out of Japan. 

Next year will likely be bigger for Japan with more shipments and games like FFXVI coming out. 

Besides all that, PS4 did fine without doing that well in Japan. 

I don't doubt that, but 30 million?!?

The Switch sold as well as a console could across all major regions, especially in Japan and the US, and it still came up short. 

Even if Sony isn't limited by production and shipments, I find it very hard to believe that they'll be able to reach that mark. Especially w/ Microsoft closing the gap and gaining momentum since they're in much more direct competition with each other than they are with Nintendo or vice-versa.

With Microsoft pulling ahead in the US and with Japan being near non-existent, it would have to take record breaking sales in Europe and the Rest of the World for them to even have a shot.
