The game that can break 50K on the PS5 in the first half of the year is basically Resident Evil... things aren't going to improve a whole lot when there is no compelling reason to purchase the system in Japan. Combine this with the fact that Nintendo is also dominating other Asian markets, and the situation becomes a lot more complex.
Essentially PS4/PS5 exclusive projects will see a huge decline in Japan this year and the platforms will struggle to surpass 750K, more worryingly for Sony's partners is that this situation will be repeated in other market places. Asia makes up around 70-80% of sales for certain Japanese 3rd Parties that are aligned to Sony, so it will be a pretty big hit for them
