Meanwhile on last year's used Market Playstation games continue to do well, and one of the reasons PS5 DE won't be such a hot item for hardcore gamers in Japan.

As we can see here Playstation ecosystem actually still has an edge with over 50% market share, only 56 games from the Switch make the Top 500, next year Switch should overtake 3DS on here as well. The main thing is this is why Retailers will probably also be inclined to push the more expensive PS5 model since all these old games from the PS4 will be compatible. This is one of the reasons that PS5 will have a very low attach rate for new games, as owners can purchase a vast library of used games and resell them after purchasing them. Still PS5 will be limited to a very hardcore audience that is also likely to own a Switch. It will probably be able to maintain over 10% Software share but will be a niche product in Japan with limited appeal. Without a portable, the 3rd biggest gaming market in the World will be dominated by Nintendo during the next few years.
I remember back in 2017, a lot of people doubted 25-30 million lifetime but it will happen
