Starting with Destiny 2 in September until the end of the year PS4 needs to have 4 Record breaking months otherwise i think it will be down overall from last year. But lets see.

I don't know where you are getting that impression from. As it stands the PS4 has basically been selling 1M consoles a month this year..... thing is, thats exactly what it was selling last year too. Some months it may be 100k higher others it may be 100k lower. Its is scaringly impressive how predictable the PS4 sales has been since its launch.
If it continues at this pace it would have sold 10M consoles by the end of october this year. And we all know how fall sales usually are. It doesn't have to have 4 record breaking months. It just needs to sell around 10M by october and then another 7-8M in november and december; which is pretty much what it has been doing and is currently on track to do.
For refernce, week of 14th march 2016 PS4 did around 300k, around the same wek in 2015 it did around 250k. 11th march 2017 it did around 250k. There is nothing about those numbers that suggest it needs to do 4 record breaking months.

It lacks the big hitters it had through this winter until the release of Persona 5 early april to keep up the sales after that for the following months. It will not drop too far, but 180k-200k weekly are definitly in the realm of possible until bigger games come out again at the end of summer.

Thats true..... but it does have quite a lot of those big hitters coming at the tail end of this year.
Even though they are multiplatform, and that the scorpio would have the best versions of those games. PS4 still has the marketing deals for all of them and likely the bundles. PS4 is still the most powerful "1080p" console which also happens to be the cheaper and more popular console as opposed to the higher tier or premium consoles. Not a lot of people that has waited this long to buy a console this gen is going to suddenly jump in and go or the most expensive consoles.
