Games are not the issue. The issue is the price. It needs to come down by $100. With this in mind, the PS5 is doing far better than it should. The PS5 is at least 25% more expensive than the PS4 when aligned but yet the sales are down by less than 5%. This means rev is WAY up. So what we do know is that components are more expensive this gen. But I still expect Sony to offer a price cut on the PS5 while introducing the Pro at a price of $500-550. And of course, none of this matters because GTA 6 will erase any unit sold deficit the PS5 has right now. I also expect GTA 6 to boost Xbox a bit but of course not enough to even begin to address the deficit to Xbox One.

The prices really aren’t that different.

PS4 in 2017 was $299/399 ($385/513 adjusted for inflation) vs PS5 being $449/499.

Inflation doesn't mean too much when wages haven't increased in the same proportion as the former.

It's somehow admirable that the system is still keeping pace with the PS4 WW but Europe, where the system is 450/550 Euros, at this point in time, the PS4 slim was between 250-300 euros.
