It's the cross gen fade. So, ps5 had lots of great games, but half or more also came out on the ps4 as it dragged out past its expiry, and this was intentional because ps4 has a much larger install base than ps5 had for the forst 2-3 years, so it made sense to do that. The second half of the ps5's life should yield better looking games that won't be ported to ps4, and eventually games that will land also on ps6 in a few years. The lines between generations are blurry now.
