PS5 is going to surpass lifetime sales of PS4 in the end pretty much no matter what.

PS6 is 90% likely I would say not to come out until late 2028 or beyond. And whenever PS6 comes out (as early as November 2027 or as late as November 2029), the cross-gen period for software will likely be longer than even PS4 to PS5. Not only that, but I think PS5 will still be manufactured more as despite rising costs I do think there will be a bigger price gap between PS5 and PS6 than there was between PS4 Slim and PS5 Digital. The cheapest PS6 SKU will probably be $750-$800, even if it's a while off. PS5 "Slim" will likely be $400-$550 when it is replaced.

And so the thing that I said when Sony wrote that PS2 is " one of the best selling consoles " not the best one, because they might have in mind the PS5, just might get true after all. Of course that's a way far shoot now, and I still doubt it. But it isn't impossible for Sony to actually had that in mind, and to do the necessary things in order for that to happen. My expectations are still somewhere around 130M for the PS5. But with the time moving on, and the things around PS5, PS6, the industry, prices, tarrifs, ram situation and everything else, and what you wrote here.. well it's chances become bigger and bigger.
