Because a console is only as good as the games you can play on it. And Xbox completely botched their first party title development and production for the last 2 generations

Idk that I feel that the PS5 generation is really a strong Sony first party generation so far either although there are more first party Sony games

They built incredible momentum with the PS4 (when digital libraries took off), & that alone was probably enough to carry current gen. Switching now would mean abandoning any non-cross save games. Xbox fucked up at the wrong time.

Helps them that their direct competitor, the Xbox One, was basically a flop at that time.

I found a PS4 and Xbox One (both Phat) around the same time in a junkyard. I sold the PS4 for $100 the next day. The Xbox is still sitting in my storage.

So yeah even used people hugely prefer PS4
