Why? 

They released at least two big first party games every year following the PS4 release 2014-2020.

But they already have 4 big first party games scheduled for 2021 currently, Horizon 2, Gran Turismo 7, God of War 5, and Ratchet & Clank. That is total overkill, especially since they have 2 AAA timed hats releasing in 2021 as well, plus several smaller AA and A exclusives. Better to delay God of War and possibly one other to 2022 imo, because they likely have very little from 1st party studios coming in 2022, especially their AAA 1st party studios. Naughty Dog just released TLOU 2, they probably won't release their next game until 2023-2024. Sucker Punch just released Ghost of Tsushima, they probably won't release their next game until 2024. Maybe Bend can get Days Gone 2 out in 2022, but Sony's 2022 line-up would look much better with both Days Gone 2 and God of War 5.

I see no good reason for Sony to have an overkill year in 2021, that would hurt them in mores ways than one; their exclusives would end up competing against one another for sales, and it would hurt their 2022 line-up.

Eh, it seems that are taking the 2017 Switch approach. Unleash the beast in year 1 (sorta) to get a good running start esp when you look at XSX and not much in the way of exclusives to get and even bigger head start.
