Hopefully their game lineup is not as underwhelming as the ps5 one.
every year, Playstation ranks very high when it comes to GOTY nominations
just last year, Playstation had the most nominations for GOTY: https://x.com/thegameawards/status/1858558789320142971
not only that, but PS5 has more 1st party games than Microsoft's Xbox S|X
1053 vs 812 (that got inflated with recent Activision acquisition)

It's important to check the facts before spreading random FUD
PS5 had the strongest lineup of games this generation, hence why they sold this many consoles
Still today, consumers are attracted to PS5's lineup, and this is corroborated by facts and data https://www.vgchartz.com/
In August for example, the ratio between PS5 and Xbox is 8:1; almost as good as the new Nintendo Switch 2, and the console is almost 5 years old!
You say "underwhelming", people are saying otherwise
Also, to my knowledge, the PS5 still lags behind the PS4 in terms of sales, despite the significant boost that COVID-19 provided.
Each generation has around half the number of games as the previous. This does get a bit murky with the advent of shovelware in online stores, but my point remains.
I think this only proves is that games are now ridiculously expensive to create and met the quality standards expected. Maybe AI will improved this in this future. Take-Two has confirmed that GTA6's budget has exceeded US$1 billion, which is mind-blowing.
Its sequel Saros is coming out next year too.
There’s also Spider-Man 2, Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart, Astro Bot, Death Stranding 2, Ghost of Yotei…
Their output hasn’t been worse than the PS4 at all imo.
And why wouldn’t they? In many cases they’re are some compiler settings and a few drivers away from working.
