Not really.

The gap is already about 1.5m in favor of S2 and it'll only grow until GTA VI arrives in November. By then, the gap could be anywhere from 4m to 6m. 

I can't really see PS5 having its best holiday season this late in its life, GTAVI or not.

To make sure we are on the same page, you are essentially saying that GAP advantage of Switch 2 for the first three quarters will be bigger than the GAP advantage of the PS5 in CYQ4. 

Is this correct and do we all expect PS5 to lead the final quarter?

Yeah, pretty much. And yes to the second question as well... I think PS5 will have a better holiday season than S2 due to GTA VI, but that won't be enough to erase the gap built on the first 3 quarters by S2.

I don't see PS5 losing the holiday quarter even this late on its life, unless Nintendo really pulls one of their bigger series to go with Ocarina Remake.
