It’s also important to note that PS4 didn’t launch in Japan until months later. PS5 includes Japanese sales already, whereas PS4’s so far would not.

This is the primary reason I think the PS5 will do about as good, if not a little worse. One can make many arguments over PS5 shipments for both sides, but in the end we will have to wait and see.

I expect PS5 to sell just under PS4 once the Japanese PS4 numbers come in, but not by very much. It’s experienced big growth in other regions that’ll basically offset the near-total abandonment of the Japanese market. Likely Sony’s plan anyway.
