It sold 20% more than PS4 Pro did at launch, at more than double the price.

PS4 Pro - 65,194 units at 45,000 yen ($288 USD)
PS5 Pro - 78,086 units at 120,000 yen ($770 USD)

It's almost 3 times as expensive.
Considering its price, I think launch week figures are quite good.

Your conversions are a bit off because the yen is worth much less vs. the dollar today than it was in 2016.  Using 2016 exchange rates for the PS4 Pro, it comes out to $422 USD.

So, the PS5 is still a lot more than the PS4 was, but effectively a little less than double the price.

Oh yeah, that is true.
Although I was refering to the Yen when comparing the price. Since people don't necesarily earn more money in 2024 than they did in 2016.
