Well, to be fair, last year was it's biggest up until now (I think it has been up yoy each year, not that great considering sales haven't been good but it's something)

It's yet to be seen if this drop is because of shortages or demand level is just in the 20k's  

2016 & 2017 were virtually tied, 2016 was ahead by 8k.

 

It still has minor shortages but i cant imagine them being to such a extent that the weekly baseline would be massively different.

I personally think PS4 will do about 2 million this year in Japan, Monster Hunter gave it a great Q1 but i cant imagine Q2-Q4 being significantly different than 2016 or 2017.

That is my guess too. Anyway, thanks for the clarification.

My point was that, considering how ps4 sales have been in japan, staying flat would be ok, specially with a product with wide appeal on the market as the switch.
