As others have stated if the PS5 lifespan is the same as the PS4 it will fall just short as PS5 sales have peaked according to Sony themselves. Especially with the PS5 price being higher than the PS4 was. Though, the PS5 generation is going to be more profitable than the PS4 generation. Now if the PS6 doesn't launch until 2028 that gives the PS5 an extra year than the PS4, which might be enough for the PS5 to outsell the PS4.
