If we put in perspective, PS4 Japan 1st week would be 0, and would remain 0 for 3 months. So PS5 having over 100k for first week shows a lot more priority was given compared to gen 8. Considering limited manufacturing capability for launch (because we know the launch numbers would be equivalent to several months of regular months, plus there is holiday) you won't setup your manufacturing capabilities for something that would be higher than the necessary for the months after launch. And even if you stockpile prior to launch, well that is another problem because if Sony instead of let's say 2.5M consoles wanted 5M consoles ready for launch so nowhere would be sold out on launch and started to produce 2 or 3 months earlier to achieve that, it would mean going from 1.25B in inventory to 2.5B and that is a lot of iddle money. |
I'm not sure what you're trying to say here exactly. I'll agree that they arguably downprioritized Japan moreso with the PS4 since they straight up delayed the launch back then, but I think the 0 for 3 months thing is a bit of a distorted comparison.
