Do you reckon the PS5 will be boring?

I don't think that first party line-up puts Sony's to shame at all - quite the reverse, IMO. Plus, I always like getting new IPs, even if they don't always work. But I like your challenge - name a 1st party with that many IPs:

 

Let's see:

Uncharted

The Last of Us

Gran Turismo

God of War

Ratchet and Clank

Sly Cooper

Jak and Daxter

Killzone

Resistance

InFamous

Horizon: Zero Dawn

LittleBigPlanet

Bloodborne

Heavy Rain

Shadow of the Colossus

Wipeout

Motorstorm

Knack

I'm sure I can think of a dozen more. And notice how they're not different games with the same character.

Didn't even hit the 20 I mentioned off the top of my head...and you can't change the goal post. They each are different series, each different with a different set of fans just like the games you've listed. Doesn't matter how many have the same cast, they're different series. I could also list a ton more...as Nintendo has been around the block longer than Sony but I get your point. But it's not like these games don't have rehashes either... but if you need more assurance...

Wario Ware, Chibi Robo, Wario Land Punch Out, Fire Emblem, Pilot Wings, Wii Series, Golden Sun, Wave Race, Earthbound, Mario vs. Donkey Kong, Mo Series, Starfy, Mario Golf, Tennis, Sports in general, Luigi's Mansion, Picross, Rhythm Heaven, Star Fox, Tomodachi, Wars Series, Brain Age, 1080 and that's all from my head. Tons of offshoots, 1 offs, etc as well. Just as wisdom comes with age, most game libraries increase with age. It really isn't a contest worth trying to win at this point. But again, I digress, this is a Sony forum, I've said my 2 cents on what I think about the PS5 and how the hardware will be predictable, software really shouldn't have come into the fray, I will stop before I get banned.

Of the 20 off of the top of your head, 6 of them are Mario games. And then you went on to add a few more with Mario spin-off characters but ok, let's see (all off the top of my head too):

Uncharted

The Last of Us

God of War

Gran Turismo

Killzone

LittleBigPlanet

Shadow of the Colossus

Ratchet and Clank

Resistance

Wipeout

Driveclub

InFamous

Tearaway

Ico

The Last Guardian

Bloodborne

Demon's Souls

Knack

Jak and Daxter

Sly Cooper

Horizon: Zero Dawn

Heavy Rain

Days Gone

Motorstorm

Beyond: Two Souls

Until Dawn

Hidden Agendas

Loco Roco

Journey

Flower

Twisted Metal

Fat Princess

Everybody's Golf

Patapon

Gravity Rush

Resogun

Dead Nation

Puppeteer

Sports Champion

SOCOM

Modnation Racers

Detroit: Become Human

Went out of my way to only include IPs from this gen and th previous one so stuff like Parapa, Tomba, Ape Escape, Legend of Dragoon, Medievil, etc, are not there. I did not count games of the same IP with different genre as a different IP like Killzone and Killzone: Liberation or LBP and LBP Karting. I did not count party games like Singstar or Buzz.

As you can tell - I love my list wars :)
