Imagine going back in time 1-2 years and saying the PS5 would be in 3rd place in the 2022 YTD in early March. It would understandably be viewed as absurd but thanks to rough circumstances here we are. Not being able to get any real boost from Horizon: FW into Elden Ring into GT7 really sucks.

I can only imagine the boost to PS5 those games would have caused if there were no shortages. But right now Sony can't take advantage of a strong 2022 lineup.

They'll still sell some hardware later on but many people are not gonna bother waiting and just play them on their PS4 instead. Sony's increased focus on cross-gen this time will benefit their software sales for this year but at the cost of negatively impacting their hardware sales down the line.
