The reason PS5 didn't get the same boost in the US vs Europe is that PS5 previously sold much faster in the US, meaning fewer holdouts left to upgrade to PS5 in the US vs Europe.

No lol. This has nothing to do with the PS5 tapping out because of having a high install base. It's very far from that point.

PS4 with much higher install base will have had better sales than this in years past. It's a pricing issue.

It's everything to do with the EU getting a WAY bigger discount than the USA this year.

Prices are what it is, no console will be as cheap in the future as they were previously. Switch 2 will always be more expensive than Switch 1. PS6 will always be more expensive than PS5 in the future as well. In fact the rise of RAM prices means all these consoles will likely be more expensive next year than this year as well. So pricing is baked in reality, which is why console sales is naturally something that will decline in the future. It will be all about getting more money from the shrinking customer base, there is no growth to be had in the future for any console company.
