If the PS5 was $650 at launch it wouldn't hit 100 million. Fortunately it was $500 for a few years. Switch 2 will be priced at $500 soon and it will get at least another price increase after that so hitting 100 million might be difficult 

If Switch 2 can't even hit 100 million it means very bad things for Sony and MS, because it means essentially AI pricing will sewer the entire next generation and it will affect them even worse. 

So a gen that looks like 90 million Switch 2, 50 million PS6, 10-12 million XBox Helix could be incoming. 

If the gen's length is standard and AI continues to screw everything up, these consoles aren't coming close to the figures you're expecting, (except the Switch 2 possibly).

But Sony is actually pretty safe as they don't need to sell you PS6's to remain dominant. Nintendo has it worse as they cannot rely on Switch 1 the way Sony can rely on PS5. But on the other hand, Sony is making sure everyone hates them and is about to kill one of their few remaining selling points against PC, and it's unclear what that means for their future.
