It will definitely contribute to the PS5 selling a decent amount more consoles but I'm not sure how big the boost will be on actual launch week. It's difficult to predict PS5 sales at the moment. RE4 seemed to provide no boost, the week after still nothing. Now 2 weeks after RE4 PS5 sales have jumped back up significantly for seemingly no reason.
So I think FFXVI will give a good boost to PS5 in Japan but whether that materialises as strongly on launch week or not remains to be seen. Over the course of the whole year the PS5 will sell a lot better for having FFXVI than not though that's for sure.
