If Sony continue with this price increase everywhere, and on the main regions such as US and Europe, I expect the sales to drop to PS3 levels weekly and monthly. Which will itself put a limit to probably 100M lifetime even with the gen going as far as 2028.

There will be a limit to how expensive they can make console gaming, before people will search for alternatives like PC. A lot of people only buy consoles when they are cheaper in the latter half of its life cycle. The PS5 will most likely never be available for less than 400 euro. So it's late life legs might not be as good as PS4, which it's already trailing behind and will trail behind for a while.
