A lot of those sales are across like 6 different platforms over 13 years and a big chunk of them are with the game heavily discounted. Like I don't even like GTAV but I bought it for $10 on a Steam Sale. I think a lot of the people who want a PS5 for GTAV already own it, and even Sony knows this, this is why they are saying PS5 sales have peaked already even with PS5 Pro coming and forecasting sales to go down this coming year. 

We'll get back to this when it launches i differently think it will change the trajectory of console sales and who cares what sony predictions/estimates  both nintendo and sony  had those been  wrong plenty of times.   

Companies don't shoot for low sales targets if they don't have to. It's not good for the stock price. If Sony is saying sales have peaked and they're only expecting 18 million next fiscal year, then frankly I take their word over yours. 

Right now I don't think PS5 will catch PS4 sales and XBox sales are hilariously bad, apparently they sold like 800k-900k for last quarter which is a disaster. 

There's 0 chance PS5 + XBox Series X/S are going to even come close to XBox 360 + PS3 sales from 15 years ago. This market segment is not growing at all. They're unlikely to match PS4 + XBox One as well or PS2 + even just either one of GameCube or XBox.
