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.

But what do we know about demand? PS4 launching late in Japan meant better supply

I don't get the supply excuse. Sony produced more PS5 at launch than PS4, but decided to supply less to Japan? The message here is either, that japanese customers don't like PS5 or that Sony doesn't like japan. Either way, that is no good sign.

EDIT: To put the supply argument the other way around: although Sony also had to deliver to japan (which they didn't with PS4), they could supply more PS5 to the US and europe. But still japan numbers are that bad.
