Why I think that Sims 5 isn't cancelled, but a PS5 version definitvely is

[SimsPulse 0]

First: the game is too successful to not work on a sequel: EA will try to milk Sims 4 until it breaks down, but not developing a Sims 5 seems totally insane. But there's a reason, why a PS5 version is definitvely cancelled, and this might not be because it is released so late that the ps5 no longer matters (as the ps4 mattered for years after the release of the ps5):

If Sims 5 tries to include generative AI, even for the behavior of the Sims only, then the PS5 is absolutely too weak for it. The next generation of consoles will probably include an dedicated NPU for AI-Stuff that can handle AI tasks simply better than a CPU can. This will probably be less of an issue on desktop-pcs as desktop-cpus are much of the time stronger and many tasks can the gpu take over.

This is just my personal opinion of the Sims 5 situation as i see it. Too many news outlets are already calling doom and gloom, but while life by you was cancelled (which was in my eyes the weakest of the sims competitors), i doubt that this make them decide: we cancel now Sims 5 because of it and milk out even more from Sims 4. (which they will, but not at the expense of the Sims 5)
