Not sure about the price, but as for sales no. The PS5 in its first year consistently outsold the PS4 in its first year, and it probably would have been more if they didn’t have so many supply issues. They were selling every PS5 manufactured before they ever reached store shelves for at least the first year and well into the second year. The PS4 was readily available in stores only a few months after launch.

There was a period where PS5 sales compared to PS4 dipped, but in the last 6 months the PS5 has been selling more than PS4 during the same time period and the gap is currently widening.
