I feel like Sony isn't exactly coasting but kind of stuck right now instead. They have gained a reputation of fantastic story games that often set the standard for what games should look like visually. This results in longer development times and fewer games being released.

Combine that with the multiple live service game cancellations (Last of Us online, Concord, other reported games never announced), their release schedule looks very slow and right now Xbox studios looks like they'll release more titles this year than Sony's internal studios. Nintendo probably will too despite few announcements for this year as we'll likely get a flood of them after the full unveiling of Switch 2 in April.
