PS5 numbers not a surprise. They price increase killed it, and an even more expensive Pro isn't gonna be popular either. 10k is the base now.

Switch doing well. In 6 months it'll probably be down to that 10k PS5 level but it looks like it'll have a good last hurrah early this year before it is replaced.

The price increase has nothing to do with that. For some reason, gen 9 will be shorter than usual. PS5 being down YoY in its 4th year is quite telling. If we add in the fact Sony themselfes said that the PS5 is halfway through its life we know whats up. I don't think GTAVI will cause a massive uprise in sales (at least not in a way some people wish) for a turn around. GTAV was one of the  biggest SW openings of all time, even today, yet the Xbox 360 and the PS3 where down >30% YoY. Why should it be different this time? Many people who want GTAVI already own a PS5 or Xbox Series.
