PS5's best hope as I have said before is PS6 struggling for a PlayStation console (like PS3) and PS5 still selling well (like PS2).

Because even if PS5 is an attractive price on top of PS6 as more liked than early PS3, it's still going to be a battle to pass PS2, more improbable than not. 

130 million units is on the table right now still. Maybe even 140 million. 145 million units or up seems way too high. I still predict about 122 million meaning they're only going to ship about 30 million more units. If I need to update my prediction later this year to more around 128-135 million units, I will. 

Of course it's an uphill battle for the PS2, and I am still far from calling that. But with time and different circumstances, it can get closer and closer. It depends on really how Sony is managing all of this. If the generation really delay until 2030, and they play 2 price cuts until then, 145 or even 150M don't seem too high.
