If that is the case then why did the PS5 versions of Elden Ring, GT7 and Forbidden West massively outsell the PS4 versions? Those games would sell hardware more if they weren't cross-gen but it's clear that the hardware selling effect while diminished is still notable.

Do you have numbers for Elden Ring by platform?  My understanding for GT7 and HFW is that they are often bundled with the PS5 in certain nations.

I already gave you GT7's launch split from the UK earlier in the thread

"76% of sales was for the PS5 version, with the remainder coming on PS4."

There were no bundles at launch.

It's not just first party either. Elden Ring UK Launch sales were 3x higher on playstation 5 compared to Playstation 4

"According to GSD's digital and physical numbers, 32% of sales were on PlayStation 5, 30% on PC, 29% on Xbox and 9% on PS4.
