UK PS5 shipments in the launch week must be around 300K which is a big middle finger to Japanese playstation fans.
Changing the "X" button in japan was the first warning shot that sony is focusing on other markets. I don't blame them either, Nintendo has an 89% market share in Japan. Hearts and Minds.

thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
With all the big promotion it drives me nuts that SONY pulls away from making so little PS5 shipments it’s nuts

Well according to reports they're manufacturing anything from 11m - 15m by March 21. It's just that the demand is huge in every territory. In the UK alone they could sell 1m in the first week if the supply was there, that's a lot more than PS4.

Didn't realise PS4 Pro uptake was that low in Japan. I expected the lifetime figure to be higher. 1.5m isn't a lot.

So only around 2k offset and Switch / PS5 sales would already matched even on PS5 launch week. It's gonna be worse when the supply would be heavily constrained at least until next year.

Also people had said that PS4 will easily pass 10 million in Japan when it still averaging around 1-3k weekly now (6-12k monthly), they need around 750k more and that means only in 4-5 years that PS4 can only reach past 10 millions, provided that it can actually sell that amount consistently. It might not even reach that 10 mil numbers in lifetime lol.
 
People cant find ps5's so just ended up getting ps4 versions it seems.

going by ps4 software in top 10 that is. no other reason why so many when its normally dedicated to Switch.

It will once they actually lower the price of the PS4. A PS4 is still 30,000+ yen on Amazon right now. A PS5 digital is 39,980 yen lol.

Hmm hopefully. Then again Switch could also be cut in price too maybe as soon as next year.
PS5 Digital is a myth now with how low its stock are even worldwide, that price option might not even exists for most. I believe Sony only releases the system for marketing, for that $400 price tag.

It will be interesting to see the numbers of the PS5, will it be similar numbers to the PS4 (close to 10M) or worse? I guess it will depend on the next Nintendo console as well.
 
For reference, the Switch sold 320k units with some notable supply shortage although probably not as extreme. Underwhelming software sales for Sony as well. Let's be honest here, Japan is NINTENDOMINATION land and that will not change at all.
 
It's more towards negative sign since most of those consoles were sold to scalpers or resellers.
Oh, I guess in this specific case yes because most of the systems are probably in the process of being shipped for a second time, so no games are being bought or played on them yet.

I was more referring to Playstation game sales in general.
