Totally agree with the OP.  There is hardly any reason for a Japanese person to own a PS5.  Almost all of the Japanese games are going to be on the Switch.  Why would they buy a PS5, when Switch has all of the games they want?  Conservatively, I will predict PS5 will sell less than half of PS4 in Japan.  (Although I actually think it will be a lot lower than this.)


Now the next logical step is in realizing that this sort of thing is going to happen in North America and Europe too.  Switch won't have the same dominating market share in those regions like it will in Japan, but it's still going to lure away plenty of potential PS5 buyers to the Switch instead.

No, just no...

You are on the right track.  You will get to where I am eventually.  I essentially had all the same thoughts you had in your OP, but I had them 2 years ago.  In time you will come around.
