I still think PS5 will outsell PS4 lifetime simply by lasting longer.
I'd be surprised if PS6 arrives before 2028, and if the PS5 Pro is any indication, it might be so expensive that PS5 lives on for years after that as a more affordable alternative.

There's also that the PS5 is likely still gonna be getting some notable games by 2035 since the PS4 is still gonna get at least a handful next year and the next cross-gen period is surely gonna be even longer than this one. There probably won't be a huge world event that has a massive impact on manufacturing the year the console comes out this time so I can see Sony keeping a bit of manufacturing capacity around for the PS5 for a while.
