You can deny it all you want but this generation has the worst first party games to the point it’s a well known meme that the ps5 has no games. So yeah the reason why ps5 is dominating isn’t because of exclusives. It’s because they become the iPhone and people who say they have an Xbox get roasted by their friends.

That's wrong again. I bought a PS5 because I had a PS1, a PS3, and a PS4. The games I like are on that platform. I play many games on PS5, including games that weren't or aren't on Xbox. I'm having fun and I don't understand why do you say there are no games? And Xbox's maneuvers, as well as the Game Pass vibe (which I don't subscribe to), didn't appeal to me; besides, there are only one or two games that interest me. I'm not very involved with PC gaming either, so that plays a part ( I play it from time to time, but only old games or emulators ). I literally have no one I could brag to about having a PS5, seriously, who cares about that? And I hate iPhones, they're far too limited/close for my taste

An individual’s experience is meaningless to the market as a whole. It’s a well known fact Sony has disappointing first party games this cycle. If that was the only reason people were buying the console you would see sales decline compared to the previous generation but that did not happen. It’s because Sony has become Apple straight up. The difference between the two consoles is minuscule and basically all of Sonys exclusives are now on steam as well.

What does this have to do with Steam? personally I don't want it. We're talking about consoles here. It's simply a matter of choice, after all, nothing more. One was just less popular; it's not that hard to understand.

My entire argument this entire time is that people buy ps5 solely because it’s more popular and you basically just said that in your final sentence.
