When the systems entire LTD sales are only equal to PS4's launch week, I don't think there is too much to expect there + the higher digital ratio I mentioned before + lack of a killer app for the market. The bulk of sales really does come from new hardware purchases at this point in a systems life. I suspect Demon Souls and Spiderman will do well in the end, but they need a userbase first. The PSVita had weeks post launch where only 1 game would chart (probably also weeks with 0) and it was selling far more hardware. I suspect BC  is also keeping some users occupied until bigger hitters come out

Regarding your latter point, looks like trolling lol

I'm not trolling. I guess the PS5 launch was a bit rushed in Japan You don't think so? Maybe sony launch in March/21is a better solution? What do you think? 

Oh, my mistake. I though you were referring to the PS5's entire roll out, which has been very strong overall if not a bit frontloaded (but we're in the midst of a pandemic), its had much better software support than PS4 and doesn't seem to be suffering from any large scale issues/failure rate.

Japan specifically? They could have delayed it, but I said this to rol in the past: from a consumer perspective, its better to be in tight supply and give the appearance of high demand than to officially announce a delay to your home region and upset the whole market. The latter I think is more damaging to the brand.
