Might as well say XB1 has been supply constrained ever since it released in Japan :P

Even if Sony was interested in ramping up supply for PS4 in Japan, I'm not sure if it would make much of a difference. It would still struggle to even be a challenge to Switch or even make it to 10 million sold LT. I guess at this point, Sony is more focused on getting PS5 off the ground.

Except the XB1 has not been supply constrained. If you want to just make things up and throw it out there in a vain attempt to misinform then sure.

There's a massive difference of 10k per week vs 1k per week over 5+ weeks and said difference will only continue to grow.

Either way, the point still stands of XB getting absolutely dominated by PS in a country that makes up for nearly 60% of its sales.

And the PS4 wouldn't be if Sony had any interest in Japan. But they are also switching production and Japan only gets the scaps.

And why is that? Because Sony is prioritizing the other regions. Microsoft is doing the same with the Xbox, but they cut production more aggressively and thus ran out of consoles halfway through the year and has been supply constrained ever since in all regions.

So if you're claiming that Sony's weak sales in Japan are only due to low supply, anybody else could return that same argument against you for Microsoft in any region right now.
