I dont want PS5 be a successful console or sell much more, simply because the PS5 is semi-failed console with so little true new gen games, especially good quality games on all fronts, and if PS5 is a successful console in term of sales numbers, it will set up a very bad precedent; the resulting idea is that there's no need for good games for people to buy it. The same with Xbox Series. I have both of them and they feel like walking dead bodies. One of my friend is selling his PS5 and another didnt turned on his Xbox Series X for some months now.
All of my games that I played on PS5 are also on PS4 and the only native PS5 games that I bought(just two) I only got them because they were on big sale.

There is almost nothing new and worthy on PS5 and XS.

This gen is so empty, so sad.

The PS5 is very successful and deservedly so.

PS6 will have a lot of PS5 games as well, no reasons to not do so, the same reason PC games don't run only in very expensive and very modern hardware.

PS5 games having PS4 games means nothing if said games are great, GT7 for example has a PS4 version, and the PS5 version is more impressive than the Xbox X only Forza Horizon... Horizon Forbidden West PS5 version is hardly matched by any other game as well... having a PS4 version simply don't matter, those are amazing PS5 games.

Diminishing returns also means games will not have as many reasons to skip platforms, if they do it's more likely due to marketing/strategic reasons rather than not being possible to have an older gen version.

Nintendo also said they will keep the Switch alive as long as there is demand, and that is a ridiculously less powerful machine.

You'll have to get used to it.
