“You can buy into both ecosystems”

Why would people do that though? If you own a PS5, you can get both platforms games. The only difference is GamePass and release date for some of the titles, but that’s clearly not a big enough draw for the main market.

The most popular titles on both platforms are the same evergreen service titles. There’s not much reason to own both, more so now that MS is putting Xbox games on PS5.

Even next gen if the next Xbox is a branded PC, yeah that means you’ll get Sony games, but not in the same ecosystem people built on PS4, it’ll be Steam.

People already buy into multiple ecosystems. Switch, Steam, PSN, Live, GoG, Epic, Battle.net. It's all a choice and comes down to value. Some people will change if the value is better.
