So the last big sales week in Japan for a while has happened and the PS5 has had its first holiday season wasted there, jeez that's a really rough start. If someone had said PS5 would be under 300k by mid January most probably would've laughed at them. The PS4 sold over 300k in its first week by comparison.

Looking at VGChartz numbers on how long it took to get to 300k

DS: Launch Week

PSP: Week 3

PS3: Week 6

Wii: Launch Week

3DS: Launch Week

PS Vita: Launch Week

Wii U: Launch Week

PS4: Launch Week

Switch: Launch Week

PS5: Not yet there at Week 8ish

The last few Weeks have averaged around 11K-12K, doing some simple math that would be another 2-3 weeks before it gets to 300K

Yeah it's looking like it'll take till the end of this month for it to hit 300k which is probably below even the most pessimistic predictions or projections. At this rate despite having a holiday season and over a dozen weeks the PS5 might fail to reach what the PS4 sold in its first couple weeks. More stock might turn things around so its first year might not be as bad as it seems it will be right now at least.
