That really puts the PS5 sales into perspective.

I knew PS4 and PS5 launched much worse than the Wii U, but seeing the PS5 not being able to keep up with it's predecessor truly ain't a good sign so far.

I mean, if I remember correctly, it took untill around the switch's official announcement for the ps4 to surpass the Wii U in LTD, thanks in part to the absolutly MASSIVE splatoon wave in japan and also in part to the wii U being essentially ahead 2 holidays in jp

Yes, but launch-aligned, the PS4 took only about a year to catch up to the Wii U's sales. It looks like for the PS5, it will take somewhat more than one year to reach Wii U numbers launch-aligned. As for how much, we'll need to see over the next couple weeks, and more specifically January/February (when stocks should have catched up to demand) to have a clearer idea for the outlook of the console in Japan.
