PS4 is not doing great. It is doing moderate. It is doing great compared to the other consoles but over all, it is moderate at best. But I do agree with you, it will not pass 100m. It'll hit probably somewhere between 70-80 mil or at least that is where I am guessing.

I think that is actually pushing it. My guess is 50-60. There are less third party studios so there are less games in the same time frames as there has been in the past.

There are actually more third party developers then ever before. You could argue there are less third party AAA developers, but I'm not sure how true that is either as the more sucessful studios tend to expand and have multiple teams working on multiple titles but under the same studio name.
I'd argue there are less AAA games in the same time frame because they take so damn long to make these days. Even Call of Duty has moved to a three year dev cycle.

How do you figure? The large studios aren't expanding and working on more games, they are actually aquiring more studios and teams to work on less games. 10 studios are working on AC Unity, 10! It makes no difference whether COD is a three year development cycle cause they have so many damn studios working on them one is released every year. Why not just have a group working on COD that releases every three years and then the rest of the stuidos could work on something different, maybe multiple different smaller less costly titles. In 2013 Ubisoft released 12 games, 2012-24, 2011-28, 2010-23, 2009-31, 2008-32. Oh and 2014 is looking to have 10.
Less games.
