Seems like a really good estimation. PS5 at 90 million. 2 million shy of PS4 with its biggest some of its biggest games coming this year. And Sony seems insulated from the memory price crunch which is their dumb luck but it won't last forever.

As far as catching the PS4, I think that happens this calendar year, and then we can revisit of total lifetime sales predictions.

Take me up to speed. Why and how Sony is insulated from that memory price crunch ? I must've missed all of this. I know they had some stock pile, or so I read.

Apparently Sony had stockpiled a bunch of ram at a lower price prior Sam Altman setting everyone on fire.  Most likely Sony had secured it thinking GTA would launch this year and if so the got super lucky. But... the actual size of the Ram stockpiled is unknown so we dont know how long they are insulated.  The idea is that if they have enough the could hold out long enough for prices to drop... but this is seeming less and less likely with each day.   Apparently Apple also has Ram stockpiled.   Xbox did not and clearly neither did Nintendo or Valve.
