You are right  but it could be argued that you are talking about an untested New IP and 55 mill means more Games so more competion against a Franchise that is legendary  with a 97 rating and was allways going to have a superb sales ratio in regards to hardware sales.

Some valid points but I'm trying to think of an adoption inhibitor greater than the supply shortage that hit the Switch early on and I'm coming up short. I'm going to guess not many people are going to buy a game for a platform they don't, or more appropriately, can't own yet...

What other titles released for the PS4 around the time of Horizon's release?

Well, jan, feb and march have had lots of highly praised games so I guess one could argue it goes against potential Horizon sales. I for instance haven't bought it since I have so many potential games I want to buy now (RE7, Nioh, Nier, Persona 5, etc...)

I don't think it's as big of a factor anyway
