110m+ depends on the release date of the PS6. I think 120m is hard to break.

40% of you here need reminding that the console is at 95m and it beat the Switch 2 last month. Gta6 is also on the corner, probably adding to it beating the S2. To see a downturn as for it to stop at sub 110m... whaaaaa. That makes about as sense as my balding head.

TBF PS5 did only ship 1.6M during the April-June quarter. It’s not crazy that (if PS6 drops next holiday) it does land just shy of 110M. I’m not sure if sub-105M is realistic, but 105-110M sounds somewhat sensible.

120 million is going to be tough with the price hikes. 130 million is virtually impossible unless PS6 takes until 2030 and PS5 is still in decent stock around then and into the 2030s.
I stand by around 116 million units (Sales are going to fall hard in 2027 and 2028). Sony has only shipped 3.1 million units from January 1 through to June 30. We'll hopefully get the Q3 2026 numbers in October or November.
Sony has said they are not aggressively selling the console anymore. It's clear they want to increase the money sold on digital purchases/subscriptions per console rather than get a lot more people into the console ecosystem.
Too early to say, but I'm skeptical PS6 will crack 100 million units lifetime with the way PlayStation and the global economy/situation is going and the impacts that will be felt in the next 10 or so years.

Switch 2: 120 million (was 116 million)

PS4: 120 mil (was 100 then 130 million, then 122 million) Xbox One: 51 mil (was 50 then 55 mil)

Actually yes but the doesn't matter right now. What's your verdict?

In the nicest way possible, I would recommend going back on them and also seeking some support, your posting the last few days feels suggestive of an untreated mental health episode, possibly a manic one but also potentially paranoia and AI psychosis.

I'd say less than the PS4, so 110M-115M.

(IDK if I’d be giving medical advice to a stranger on the internet based on a few forum posts… there’s probably good reason he’s off them.)

Thanks for the concern but, I'm fine and have support. It was half a joke thread on the AI thing cause I'm so pumped by Mace Windu Fell Out of a Window. It's all good, no need to worry.

Me too. That's only happening if PS6 has a sluggish start and PS5 has some price cuts. And I don't even know if that is enough.

Sub 110m is actually realistic if the PS6 is next year since it's likely getting another price increase after this holiday season and its sales after that will be pretty poor. If it's 2028 then it'll be the 2nd option and in general over 120m is not happening at this point unless the PS6 is pushed beyond 2028 which I don't expect.
