I think that current consoles have decent numbers. While many people say that "consoles are going away", in the reality they're still solid in terms of popularity. Probably they will go away in the long term and it feels like the peak of console gaming has already been left behind but the current results show that consoles will stay in the gaming race for a while.

It's still possible to buy standart PS5. Even if PS5P's sales will be 10% from all PS5's numbers, nothing is gonna change in this case. Sony as a big company nowadays is likely to have special divisions which can messure how popular are gonna be their products, movies, TVs and son on. They know that PS5 standart will be more popular than PS5P. Even PS4P which was cheaper was far less popular than PS4.
