Depends almost entirely on pricing, so without knowing when things will improve impossible to say.

Right now I don't see any hardware doing very well over the next couple of years at least. 2027 is going to really suck.

Yeah my prediction is largely dependent on the PS6 being $800 at launch. If it's $1200 we will see even worse lifetime sales. If it's $600 we will see something like 70 million units sold. 

I'd like to add that I absolutely do not see PS5 or PS6 doing better than their predecessors for lifetime sales. There's a solid 10-20% of Sony enthusiasts that will drop the brand like a rock once they go all-digital. Sony will also lose out on billions in free advertising, marketing, and word-of-mouth sales that happen due to physical games still being around. This loss of free promotion will hit the tail-end of PS5 pretty hard as well as the PS6 launch. Lots of early adopters just won't show up on launch day due to no physical disks.
