At this point we can all agree at least 8-10 million Xbox Series X/S were originally meant to be PS5 purchases but turned to XBOX due to lack of stock

Sony is likely never recovering those sales, they will need to expand their market if they want to surpass PS4, however growing Markets in Asia and LATAM are price sensitive and their current pricing strategy is not helping them to make waves there

PS5 lifetime sales will likely sit in 105-110 million units range

Maybe even more.

Thinking about this some more, but the PS5 is almost guaranteed to outsell the PS4, as long as the PS6 launches in 2028. Here are some conservative projections: 

24: 17M 
25: 15M
26: 13M
27: 10M
28: 8M

Even taking a million units off for each of these FY's puts the PS5 right around the PS4. I think I'm lowballing 2025 and 2026 by quite a bit too. Don't forget, the tail end of the PS4's lifecycle was severely impacted by COVID and production issues, or it would be sitting comfortably above 120M+.
