If you look at the most played games among PS5 gamers, it's not Horizon or Astro Bot, it's Fortnite, COD, Roblox, GTA, Minecraft, etc.

The main selling point of Playstation virtually since its inception has been that it's the go-to place for virtually all the big third party games.

That's it? That's the only reason? The games you mentioned are most played not because they are the most wanted but because they are designed to be played eternally. Playtime =/= money. Playtime =/= reason for buying a system. 

I mean you can look at the sales charts as well; their first party games do well, but COD/GTA/etc sell more.

PS is the primary console for AAA third party titles and most people will still buy it for that regardless of first party stuff going multiplat, Xbox is irrelevant at this point, they're already on PC, and Switch 2 is different enough that it doesn't obsolete PS's niche.
