Your problem is that you argue out of ignorance, sprinkled with your usual bias.
in May 2024 Circana report, MLB the Show 24 was the 2nd best selling game on PlayStation in the U.S. your claim that the sales and revenue crater after the first month is absolute BS.
Where did I say sales crater after the first month. I said the first month are the strongest sales. What new releases do you see on this list that MLB The Show 24 is outselling? There isn't a single new release on the list.

To also put things in perspective, MLB The Show 22 was several places above Gran Turismo 7 in the May 2022 NPD and consistently outsold it on PlayStation for the rest of the year (I checked until August).
You should probably get better at this. Gran Turismo is an evergreen game. It's been selling consistently well since it released and got an even further boost by the movie, especially when it released on streaming. Do you see MLB The Show 22 on the 2024 charts?

I guess your argument now is that Gran Turismo 7 wasn't a hit?
So yeah, Gran Turismo 7 was a hit. It's easily sold over 10 million copies, which Forza isn't going to sniff.
If Sony put Spider-Man on Switch 2 and it sold 2 million copies, that wouldn't be a huge success.
Why would that be the 'mark' when it's multiple places above it? it's a benchmark of sorts, nothing more.
If a late port that many owners have already experienced on other platforms instill selling very well, it's clear subsequent new entries are going to do very well indeed.
See above. There's no evidence that this late port was experienced by PlayStation players on other platforms. The argument before this game came out was that it was going to be a huge hit. There's no evidence of that.
