Of Sony's first 4 home consoles, only PS3 was below 100 million because of

-High price for the first years

-A sluggish stream of quality software at first.

-Stiff direct competition from Xbox and indirect competition from Nintendo

PS5 is on track to sell similarly to PS4, though I too think it will fall short of PS4's total.

Short of the console market falling off a cliff or mistakes similar to the PS3, there's little chance PS6 doesn't crack 100 million. 

PlayStation home consoles are more consistent than Xbox or Nintendo home consoles. 

I am pretty sure that if PS3 was slashed half the price in it's last years, just like PS2 or at least to 199$ (for the 500GB model, and 149$ for the 12GB), it would reach 100M, and because it would sell more units than what it did, Sony would left it on the market till 2020 and not 2016.
