Inflation, lack of price cuts, PC gaming on the rise (more expensive but an open platform), Switch's success (doesn't matter but it IS a direct competitor), less cross-gen titles shared between PS3 and PS4 than now, and PS4 Pro launching a year earlier aligned than PS5 Pro.

With all those barriers, it's impressive that PS5 is only about 2.2 million behind. If it ends up 5-10 million units behind, it would still be a big success and possibly more profitable still. 

Corrected that for you. Only because a prefered system will not get to the LTD sales of another does not make it a "non competitior". Xbox, Playstation and Switch are competitiors. 

That's a hot debate on this site and some others.

I saw someone say on this site before that comparing Switch to Xbox and PlayStation is like comparing motorcycles to cars. 

And I think PS5 will sell extremely well. PS6 is 3-4 years out which is a ton of time for PS5 to sell more before it's replaced.

If Xbox 5 beats PS6 to the market by a year or two (very likely) it will eat at some of PS5's NA sales figures but not much in Europe and a nonfactor pretty much in the rest of the world. The only region where Xbox has consistently done well is NA (mainly the USA). Xbox is a more or less a non-factor in Japan, especially during the Xbox and Xbox One days.
